One of my favourites Jean. I believe” follow”, could be replaced by the word “pursue” in translation.
It is always a marvellous Psalm to use with the elderly,christian and non-christian, especially with those confronting death in a hospice.
You read the psalm prayerfully.Another reminder about the indispensible need to open our hearts to our great shepherd ,daily ,for ourselves and for others.
Thankyou so much for your comments on this psalm Jean.
My year is looking…. challenging, not least because my dear non-christian grandmother is very near death and in great pain. Many of our other plans for the year seem to be coming somewhat unstuck and I’m tempted to worry.
Thanks for reminding me of the kind of God who is looking after me.
Great post Jean. Now all I have to do is actually trust God, instead of just saying that I do.
Thank you to all of you for your kind comments. Warren, I was encouraged by your comment - it sounds like you speak from experience.
I pray that you will be able to trust God through what sounds like a challenging year, Lucy.
And yes, Roger, easy to say, hard to do, as I rediscover every day.
But how trustworthy God is, even when we find it hard to trust him - and how foolish our lack of trust in him! I pray we would all be able to trust our great Shepherd.
How wonderful the way that God speaks to us! I was just reading this Psalm last week & committed it to memory.
I’ve started off the year with many changes & it’s hard comfortable with that. I don’t know what the future holds, but God’s plan is good & He will surely He puts as through, He will also get us through.
Thanks for this post.
Hi Jessica!
Yes, my children and I are memorising this psalm together at the moment.
I like what you say: “What God puts us through, he will also get us through.” I think that’s right! It’s a great statement to remember, thank you.
Jean.
