Who Is the Keeper of Your Soul?

Text:

Psalm 23:1 (HCSB) 

1 The LORD is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. 

Observation:

As I listened to the lyrics of this song early in the morning, the thoughts I share with you today were birthed in my soul.

"He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,

That shadows a dry, thirsty land;

He hideth my life in the depths of His love,

And covers me there with His hand,

And covers me there with His hand."

Yes, Jesus is a wonderful Savior. He's a wonderful Savior to me. This song speaks volumes into my soul, and it thrills my soul. O the security, and the comfort of being hidden in the depths of God's love.

Are you covered by the hand of God?  There is no place I would rather be than in the hand of my God.

"He hideth my life in the depths of His love,

And covers me there with His hand."

Listen to what the Bible says about the one who wants to be the shepherd of your soul; the keeper of your life now, and for eternity.

The Good Shepherd

John 10:11 (HCSB) 

11  "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 

The Great Shepherd

Hebrews 13:20-21 (HCSB) 

20  Now may the God of peace, who brought up from the dead our Lord Jesus—the great Shepherd of the sheep—with the blood of the everlasting covenant, 

21  equip you with all that is good to do His will, working in us what is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ. Glory [belongs] to Him forever and ever. Amen. 

The Chief Shepherd

1 Peter 5:4 (HCSB) 

4  And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of glory. 

Prayer:

Our Father in heaven, I am so thankful, and will be forever grateful for all that You have done for all of Your children.

Father, I rejoice to associate myself with Your people of every age. O, what a day that will be when we all get to heaven.  Yes, we will surely sing, and shout the victory in Jesus. In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
