Aside from having more earthly wants and possessions than most people in the world; if we are a blood bought child of God, we are blessed far beyond what we deserve…and all because we have a personal relationship with The Good Shepherd, The LORD Jesus Christ!
Pause for a moment and meditate on that thought…..
Song of Solomon 2:16 "My beloved is mine, and I am his…"
We belong to The Good Shepherd, our Sovereign King and we now have a personal relationship with Him! I am His! O joy upon joy…and He is mine!
My Good Shepherd loved me enough to submit Himself to come down to sinful earth to take on human flesh, with the sole purpose…of dying to pay the price for my personal sin.
John 10:18 "No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again…."
My Good Shepherd endured the agony and humiliation of crucifixion…by death… on a cursed cross! He did this for you and me… Are we thankful?
I Peter 2:23 "Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered , he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously."
He was undeserving of this treatment!
My Good Shepherd has become my Master…my LORD and my ALL. He is the secret to satisfaction! What do I have to be thankful for…?
Oh, just everything!
The Lord is my Shepherd. I've got all I want!
Do you ?
