"know ye that the Lord He is God: it is He that hath made us and not we ourselves; we are His people and the sheep of His pasture."
We are reminded that the Lord we are serving is God. This means that there is no one greater than the Lord we serve. We owe Him reverence, praise, and obedience. This should cause us to bow in worship and praise of Him, He alone is worthy of our praise. He alone is the source of our lives, our loves and our service. Have you praised Him today? We are reminded that the Lord we are serving is our creator: "It is He that hath made us and not we ourselves." We are never independent of His presence and we are never able to say "I did it myself..." Whenever we wake up in the morning, He is present to welcome us to the day. When we go about our business during the day, He is present to lead and guide us through the day. When we go to bed at night, He is with us. My prayer each night before I go to sleep is to thank Him for being with me and loving me. God's presence is a great source of assurance, comfort and safety. He is our creator! we are not self made! I thank God each day that I am not dependent only on myself and on my limited human resources. We are reminded that "we are His people and the sheep of His pasture." Through His Son, God has received us to Himself and has made us "His people and the sheep of His pasture." How do we know that "we are His people and the sheep of His pasture"? Because He has promised us that by faith in His Son, Jesus Christ, we are related to Him. We are "blood kin." This means that through the blood of His Son, we can be saved, live the Christian life and join Him in heaven. I pray that you can say with the psalmist that you belong to Him, and that you are among the "sheep of His pasture." Jesus is standing at your "heart's door" and waiting for you, if you have not already invited Him in, to invite Him in. Trust Him by grace today, and if you have already trusted Him as your Savior, pause now and praise and thank Him! I just did! Bro. Joe
