In The Company Of The Shepherd.
In the company of the Chief Shepherd, how do we live… the Psalm 23 way.
Come Back…
Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit. Then I will teach transgressors your ways, and sinners will return to you.
Our Father
Who is God? We can call Him Creator, the Originator of everything, the supreme being who controls everything, the terrifying Lord of the cosmos, etc. But those are titles and actions, who is He really? Is He unapproachable? Is He indifferent? The closest that I can get to express who He really is, is that He is Good, he is Love and He is Father.
The Commandments
“You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.” The understanding of today’s readings, are in this line. God is saying, understand your identity. Understand who you are. When you do, you will know me as Father, and yourselves as my children.
God of Hope
God warned Noah, the head of his people, there is going to be a flood, prepare for it, save yourself and save your people. Build an ark, don’t mind the fact that you are in the middle of the desert, when the waters do come, it will be unimportant that you are in the desert, […]
Answering of Prayers
God invites everyone to have a personal rapport with Him. Yes everyone. But then what are the things that don’t let us get into a personal, working and everyday/every moment relationship with God?
Fasting
Isaiah speaks of fasting as not the act of skipping a meal/s. He says it is about being like God, i.e. seeking God’s heart each day and living according to who God is, since we are made in God’s image and likeness.
The Two Paths
In giving the Law, God makes us aware of what is life and good, death and evil. But like the perfect gentleman that He is, he does not impose upon us, His will. He shows us that we may make an informed choice and decision.
A Matter of the Heart, Personal
Life with God is a matter of the heart, and it is between you and Him, and there can be no other in between.
Leaven
Insincerity and selfishness spoil things for us, to be able to come before God. James explains to us that temptations and failure is part of life. But so also remedying things by coming before God is a must, to continue in His presence.
