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. Psalm 23:1-6
Ponder the words of the 23rd Psalm right now. It is for every day living even though most often you see printed in funeral programs.
Did you know that when you try to control things in your life or manipulate your way into things it is most likely not going to have a good outcome. Being still, dying to self, and trusting God is the formula.
You may get anxious and fearful as a result of trying to be in control. Self has gotten involved and God and the Holy Spirit are still in your life but you want to be in charge or so it seems. Step aside and give God the controls again.
PRAYER: I want to break any strongholds in my life that are trying to put self before trust in you. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
