August 19: Psalm 23:1-6
Key Verse: Psalm 23:1
The Lord is my shepherd; therefore can I lack nothing.
Devotion:
Sometimes it is the simple things in life which give us the most pleasure, and one of the greatest pleasures I have in my life is knowing Jesus. Yes that may sound strange but bear with me...
There have been many things in my life which have not gone according to plan, many things I did not like, many things I disagreed with, but I am still alive and I still continue to find out more about life every day even though I am of retiring age now!
God wants us to know that no matter what, we have a companion in him. He wants to love, nurture and support us in our daily lives. He wants to be there for us no matter what. And he is!
There have been times in my life when people have asked me how I can continue or what keeps me alive; my honest answer is this relationship I have with Jesus Christ.
Points to ponder:
Do you have someone who is always there for you?
Have you tried allowing Christ to have that relationship with you?
