We will be meditating on Psalm chapter twenty three, 29 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:26,360 Speaker 3: verses one through two from the King James version. The 30 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 3: Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He maketh 31 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 3: me to lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me 32 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 3: beside the still waters. Let us take time to adore 33 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:48,240 Speaker 3: God for edifying our faith. God, I praise you because 34 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 3: you always finish what you start. I worship you for 35 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 3: the power of your word that transforms and renews my mind. 36 00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 3: I sing praise to your name, for you hold the 37 00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 3: universe in the palm of your hand. I worship you 38 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 3: in the knowledge that you work out all things for 39 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 3: the good of those who love you. God is enough. 40 00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 3: It's easy to have faith in God's assurance while feeling 41 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 3: secure in yourself. When there's money in the bank and 42 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 3: everything is going your way, you rarely worry about tomorrow. 43 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 3: Do not be fooled. This world has a tendency to 44 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 3: lure people into a false sense of security and complacency 45 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:43,080 Speaker 3: through a bit of momentary comfort. This is dangerous because, 46 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 3: whether you realize it or not, the truth is that 47 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: you are constantly dependent upon God's grace. Thinking you are 48 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: in control and that your strength is enough is a 49 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 3: trick that Satan uses to cause you to stumble and fall. 50 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 3: This is why you must never forget Prosperity and peace 51 00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: come from God. The Lord is your shepherd. Your provision 52 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:21,120 Speaker 3: and your sustenance come from Him and from him alone. 53 00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: The ability to enjoy financial blessings and to have a 54 00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 3: life filled with peace is a gift given by God. 55 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 3: Once you realize the truth that God has the final 56 00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,919 Speaker 3: say over all things, your life changes. For this is 57 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:46,160 Speaker 3: your confidence that God cannot and will not fail you. Therefore, 58 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: your mental well being must be based on the truth 59 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 3: of God's word, for only God can guarantee your welfare. 60 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,200 Speaker 3: Know that Jesus is still enough and that His promises 61 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:05,919 Speaker 3: still stand. Perhaps you are struggling with this truth, perhaps 62 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 3: you are still waiting to see it manifested in your life. 63 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: This is your chance to present yourself before the Lord 64 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 3: and receive confidence for a positive godly mindset. Take this 65 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:25,480 Speaker 3: opportunity to confess your sins to God. Ask the Shepherd 66 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:31,240 Speaker 3: to come minister to you. Now, take a moment to 67 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: dwell on the peace and the provision of God for 68 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:39,120 Speaker 3: your life. The Bible says God is good and that 69 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 3: his mercy endures forever. Think of the valleys he has 70 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: delivered you from and the prosperity he has given you. 71 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,720 Speaker 3: Think on the seasons of green pastures and calm waters. 72 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 3: God has guided you to thank God that He is 73 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:02,039 Speaker 3: your pastor that He cares for you and you shall 74 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 3: not want. God is present and he is listening to you. 75 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:11,880 Speaker 3: Ask God to give you the strength to reach your 76 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 3: full potential. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you confidence 77 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 3: through faith. Ask Him to minister his comfort and his 78 00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:24,480 Speaker 3: assurance to your heart. Ask Him to create peace wherever 79 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 3: you go and to motivate others to do the same. 80 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: Ask Him to enable you to complete the tasks before you, 81 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 3: and to empower your walk and his joy. Remember your 82 00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 3: provision comes from God and He will give you everything 83 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 3: you need. God provides peace and prosperity in your life. 84 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 3: Be confident that God, who began a good work in 85 00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 3: you will carry it through to completion. Trust that God 86 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,200 Speaker 3: knows what he is doing, and that He has good 87 00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 3: plans for you, plans not to harm you, but to 88 00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 3: prosper you. Plans to give you hope and a future. 89 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,840 Speaker 3: So choose this day to rest in the assurance of 90 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,880 Speaker 3: God's word and to enjoy the green pastures of the 91 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 3: Lord in your life.
