Sabbath

Psalm 118:24 This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. #Bible

Wow what a verse, what a Psalm. We are smack dab in the middle of David prophesying about our Savior Jesus. The gates of Righteousness have been opened, all who seek our Lord Jesus are welcome.
There is the idea that this Sabbath day was created by our Father God just for this day. But then isn't every Sabbath created in the same way? A gift from our God?
As we see David celebrating the coming of Messiah, shouldn't we be celebrating in the same way that the Messiah has come?
Unfortunately we being caught up in our daily lives with all of the issues and frustrations, we forget to remember the magnificence of our Holy God, the Father, our Jesus, even our Holy Spirit, our companion.
We need to return to spending our Sabbath in Holy reflection of who our God is, and ponder on His magnificence, and what He has done for us, and also in our lives, and this wonderful Grace God has given us to live in.
Fearfully we need to remember where we were and where many of our loved ones still are. Also the world that needs to hear the Gospel.
The Sabbath is a day of rest, worship, praising the Lord, reflection, and just to be at peace, knowing our God Loves us so much.

Want

Psalm 23:1 A Psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. #Bible

I remember when I was in construction and it was a real lean time. I was really broke, I didn't have two cents to rub together. I remember looking through my cabinets trying to find something to eat, there was nothing. Moving things around, I noticed a bunch of bags, so I pulled them out. To my surprise they were k- rations a friend of mine had given me months before. I had totally forgot about them. Well with nothing to eat, probably for the next few days I decided to try them. They were excellent, even the chocolate bar that had turned white. So even though I thought there was nothing I had something.
This verse makes two points, the first is the Lord is my Shepherd, meaning Jesus closely watches over me, and He is my Companion. Being Jehovah, that says something.
This next word is want, meaning to lack, or to diminish, or decrease into poverty.
I can say, even though I was very close to having to go a few days without food I was never lacking, or wanting because of those k-rations.
With Jesus being our Shepherd, means He not only will watch over us and feed us He is our companion through this life. Jesus has never failed in His duties, He has perfectly carried them out.
So as the Psalmist David has proclaimed, so can we declare our Savior and Great Shepard Jesus the Christ is our Shepard and we will lack nothing, nor diminish, or want. Praise the Lord!
