The Lord is my Shepherd

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

(Lyrics in the Youtube video is slightly wrong)

The Lord is my Shepherd,

And I want to follow,

Wherever He leads me, 

Wherever He goes.

Over the mountains,

The waters and by-ways,

Valleys and highways,

He's waiting for me.

Chorus

I want to go to meet Him there,

To lay myself down in His love.

The Lord is my Shepherd,

And I want to follow, 

Wherever He leads me,

Wherever He goes.

And while on the journey

To where we are going,

He promised to be there

To help us along.

And over the mountains

We'll walk on together, 

To know all the wonders

He's given to me.

It takes faith and trust in God for us to accept Him as our Shepherd and for us to want to follow Him wherever He goes. This is often against our own wishes and desires that direct us to where we want to go instead. We also need humility, through which we admit our limitations and learn to depend on our God for everything we need, recognising that He knows better than us. Faith & humility are not possible without prayer, which is the foundation of our relationship with God. It is only when we come to discover more and more who God is that we are able to be assured that only in His hands can we really be safe and protected. Let us make time daily for prayer, for God. Let us take our God more seriously. He's been waiting so patiently and we must not keep Him waiting any longer. May we have a grace-filled 5th week of Lent as we reflect more deeply on where we have placed God in our lives thus far and henceforth, how committed we are in including Him more significantly into our daily living.
