Psalm 23

The Lord Is My Shepherd

A Psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures.

He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul.

He leads me in paths of righteousness

for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil,

for you are with me;

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

you anoint my head with oil;

my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life,

and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.

This past week I had the privilege of attending a Pastors Conference in Granite Bay, California where I was inspired by a man of God who preached a sermon on this passage.  Now many of you have probably heard several great sermons based upon this passage, but I want you to take 40 minutes right now and fall in love with our SHEPHERD all over again.

Pastor Albert Tate

Mark 8

Mark 8

He then asked, “And you—what are you saying about me? Who am I?”

Peter gave the answer: “You are the Christ, the Messiah.”

Room of Marvels: A Novel by Smith, James Bryan
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I am speechless!

James Bryan Smith has written the best book on grief!  His understanding after living beyond multiple intimate friends and loved ones crossing over is marvelous.  I did not know what the synopsis of this book was when I downloaded from "Inspired Reads'" website.  I just knew that it had a high rating.  Mr. Smith has taken the time to fully develop a believable circumstance based loosely on his experiences and weaved together a tale that helps one through the grieving process.

After loosing my own mother earlier this year, I did not realize just how to grieve for a Christian loved one whom I will see again some day.  Mr Smith's has written a book outlining a process by which I can be joyous in knowing that  I will spend an eternity celebrating with my loved ones who have gone on before.

Thank You James Bryan, for writing this tale.  I am going to buy copies to give to several friends who are facing the unknown right now.
