Life to Protect

 Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

The word picture for "comfort" is "turning aside, a life to protect".

You will recall that Moses "turned aside" to investigate the burning bush. That single action on Moses part God used to protect the lives of His people Israel.

However, it was also necessary for Moses to "turn aside" so that God could deal with Moses unbelief (chaos) through the power of the rod and staff.

Take time to "turn aside" today, allow the Lord to deal with your chaos, knowing He is equipping you to "protect life" in those around you.

​Blessings!!

Chaos Devoured

 Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

The word picture behind "staff" is "see the action, water and chaos devoured".

This word is connected with the meaning of the name Moses and leads us to this Scripture:  

 Exodus 4:2 So the LORD said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A rod.”

That rod became the symbol of God's power working through the life of Moses.

May the rod and staff of God be active in your life today as you see the chaos devoured wherever you go.

Blessings!!

Person of the Eye

 Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

The picture behind "evil" is "person of the eye".

In Hebrew the eye is either:

•Good: generous, giving, loving, or

•Evil: stingy, greedy, selfish. 
 

This explains Jesus words in Matthew 6:23:

But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

We need not fear the evil (darkness) because God's first and most powerful declaration still resonates around the earth:

Genesis 1:3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

Step into the light of His unique purpose for your life today and arise and shine. 

Blessings!!

Where Fear Abounds

 Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

The picture behind the word "fear" is "what happens when there is no mother".

Failure of
Every
Avenue of
​Rescue

The picture behind the word "anger" (hostility) is "where is the father?"

The evidence is irrefutable, we are living in a motherless and fatherless generation. 

Luke 13:34 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing!

Arise and shine your mother and father heart (of God) on those around you today.

Blessings!!

Tempted to End the Chaos

 Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

The picture behind "shadow of death" is "to pull towards, to go towards the completion of chaos".

Only a person who has entertained suicidal thoughts could accurately express the experience of the "shadow of death".

Sadly, for many in this day and age death has become the only means to turn off the chaos of life in a sin drenched world.

The shadow of death comes as the enemy of your unique God given purpose. 

If you are walking through the shadow of death, let these words be on your lips: "let there be light, let there be purpose."

Genesis 1:3 Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light.

Blessings!!

The Valley of Pride

 Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

The picture behind "valley" is "something lifted up to work strength".

Has it ever occurred to you that the walls of the valley you are currently walking through are the creation of your own pride?

Proverbs 29:23 A man's pride will bring him low, But the humble in spirit will retain honor.

When we lift up ourselves in pride it reveals a strength that the world considers attractive. 

But that strength has no comparison to the strength embodied in your unique God given purpose.

Learn the lessons of the valley, but do not allow it to be the death of your unique purpose.

​Blessings!!!

 Psalm 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

The word picture for "walk" is "a deed done to go toward a path or way of life".

Every deed done in the life of Yeshua moved Him toward the path, the way of life, that culminated in His death and resurrection.

John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

​
The act of walking is all about momentum and moving towards the fullness of your unique God given purpose.

Blessings!!

What Destroys Chaos

Psalm 23:3
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

The word picture behind "name" is "destroy chaos".

In Hebrew the whole understanding of name revolves around the name of God.

Numbers 6:23-27 “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them:

“The LORD bless you and keep you;

The LORD make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;

The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.” ’

“So they shall put My name (destroy chaos) on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.”

Hooked to Follow

Psalm 23:3
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

The word picture behind "righteousness" is "hooked so that your life follows".

What has got you "hooked" so that "your life follows"?

Tough question isn't it?

Our modern world is awash with hooks through media, advertising, internet, entertainment, sport, etc, etc, etc.

 Mark 8:34 & 35 When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. “For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.

Experience Benefit

Psalm 23:3
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

The word picture behind "paths" is "to experience benefit or experience beyond the destination".

​Did you ever stop to think that God's plans and purposes for your life go beyond your perceived destinations in life, even Heaven?

Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

​Blessings!!
