The Lord Is My Shepherd
This week’s Devotional Topic
When one of the wealthiest men in history, John D. Rockefeller died, his accountant was asked, “How much did John D. leave? The accountant’s reply, “All of it!” All that stuff– it’s not yours. And you know what else about all that stuff? It’s not you either. Jesus said, “Life is not defined by what you have even when you have a lot”. (Luke 12:15 MSG)
Heaven does not know you as the fellow with the nice suit, or the woman with the big house or the kid with the new bike. When God thinks of you, He may see your compassion, your devotion, your tenderness or quick mind, but He doesn’t think of your things. You and I could pray like the Puritan. He sat down to a meal of bread and water. He bowed his hand and declared, “All this and Jesus too!” What will you gain with contentment? You may gain the faith to say, “The Lord is my Shepherd. I shall not want.”
This week’s Scripture: Psalm 23:1-6 (NIV)
