I'm so thankful we aren't left to figure out this life alone. God is our Shepherd and cares for us in so many ways. This is the audio portion of a video I shared in spring of 2021 about what I learned after a few weeks of focusing on knowing God as our Shepherd.
Reflection points:
God is always present, watching over, and protecting us. (Psalm 121)
God provides: rest, strength, guidance, comfort, abundance, honor, blessings, goodness, and unfailing love. (Psalm 23)
God is our shelter, refuge, and place of safety. His promises protect us. (Psalm 91:1-4)
God is leading us and helping us lead others. (Isaiah 40:11; Proverbs 3:5-6; Psalm 116:7)
God rescues us when we stray. (1 Peter 2:25; Isaiah 53:6)
God speaks to us. God knows us and helps us know him. (John 14:6-7; John 10)
God wants our worries and trust. (Matt 6: 25-34; 1 Peter 5:6-7)
God will never leave, abandon, forsake, forget about, or give up on us. (Matt 28:20; Hebrews 13:5-6)
God will help us do his will. (Hebrews 13:20-21)
Trusting God blesses our hearts. (Psalm 28:7-9; Numbers 6:24-26)
The original video was shared as part of this Sister Studies post. You can watch it there if you'd like!
In February of 2021, I began sharing the "DIVINE: Transformed by Knowing God" series on my Sister Studies blog for the women of my church. The studies include videos, some written posts, and scripture recordings.
