The Lord is my Shepherd

The Lord is My Shepherd…

This is a Psalm of David

———————————-

The Lord is my shepherd; 

I shall not want. 

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; 

He leads me beside the still waters…

(Where) He restores my soul; 

He leads me in the paths of righteousness 

…For His name's sake. 

Because those of us who do what is right come to the light so others can see that what we are doing is what God wants.

…and so, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; 

…For You are with me (Father); 

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me… 

(You discipline me and You protect me)

For I know the plans that You have for me, Lord, plans of peace and not of evil, plans to give me a future and a hope. 

Now I call upon You and pray to You, and You listen to me. 

I seek You and I find You, because I search for You with all my hearts. 

You have brought me back from my captivity; 

Now, You will gather us from all the nations and from all the places where You have allowed us to be taken…

...and You will bring us back to the place from which You allowed us to be carried away captive.

Then, Lord, You will prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; 

You will anoint my head with oil; 

...and my cup will run over with Your blessings. 

(Then, finally) surely... 

…goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives; 

And (we) will dwell in the house of the Lord together Forever.

It’s in the Holy Name of Jesus that we pray, Lord! ….Amen 🙏 

Psalm 23 NKJV & other scriptures

Praise be to God!

Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders

​ Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders The Lord said to Moses,  “Gather before Me …seventy men, who are recognized, as elders and leaders of Israel.  Bring them to the Tabernacle, to stand there with you.  I will come down and talk to you there.  I will take some of the Spirit …that is upon you, and I will put this Spirit, upon them.  They will bear the burden, of the people, along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.  “And say to the people,  ‘Purify yourselves, for tomorrow you will have meat to eat.  You were whining, and the Lord heard you when you cried…  “Oh, for some meat!  We were better off in Egypt!”  Now the Lord will give you meat, and you will have to eat it.  And it won’t be for just a day …or two, or for five, or ten, or even twenty.  You will eat it for a whole month until you gag and are sick of it.  For you have rejected the Lord, Who is here among you, and you have whined to Him, saying,  “Why did we ever leave Egypt?” ’ ”  But Moses responded to the Lord,  “Th

1046 - Israel Celebrates Passover

Israel Celebrates Passover When everything was ready for the Passover celebration, the priests and the Levites took their places, organized by their divisions, as the king had commanded.  The Levites then slaughtered the Passover lambs …and presented the blood to the priests, who sprinkled the blood on the altar, while the Levites prepared the animals.  They divided the burnt offerings, among the people, by their family groups, so they could offer them to the Lord, as prescribed, in the Book of Moses.  They did the same with the cattle.  Then, they roasted the Passover lambs, as prescribed; and they boiled the holy offerings… in pots, kettles, and pans, …and they brought them out quickly, so the people could eat them.  Afterward, the Levites prepared Passover offerings, for themselves and for the priests—the descendants of Aaron—because the priests had been busy, from morning till night, offering the burnt offerings, and the fat portions.  The Levites took responsibility for all these
