These past months of physical distancing, I have been reading and focusing on the Book of Psalm as I think about what can help to provide a sense of calm in the midst of all the chaos, conflicts, and confusion. Then, I was struck that though there are many issues in the world today that are crucial to human existence, we can remain calm and hopeful. More so, because there is one who is, not only supreme, but is in full control.
There is not much that anyone can control. But the sometimes-difficult question is, “Are we willing to surrender to the Good Shepherd?” The one, who knows us, provides, guides, protects, and never leaves us. Now, the answer may be different for different persons but I believe that we can. We can when we truly open our ears to listen to the cries, our eyes to see falling tears, our hearts to feel, and our minds to change.
As we surrender control, we can live each day with a sense of awareness of the pains and sufferings that come with human conditions and encourage change; for these are caused by us and/or others on this earth. I say this because the God who created this world and all that is in it, said that all was good until we made it different.
In view of God’s goodness of sending Jesus Christ, the greatest “C” as shepherd of God’s flock, I have chosen and created a Sermon series on Psalm 23 after intentional and deep meditation. Though I once heard that Psalm 23 is meant to inspire, over my years of living, I believe that it conveys confidence and encourages us to surrender control. David who is credited for this Psalm had a personal relationship with God. The Lord was personal to David centuries ago, that same Lord is personal or can be for us today. That is, we have a Lord that we can be in a personal relationship with. That Lord provides, protects and guides us to prosperity. But most of all, all is peaceful when we open ourselves and allow the Lord to refresh, renew, revive and restore what is missing in our lives or is obstructing us from the abundance. Hence, what would be a better time to reflect more, than now; during a time like this?
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
As we make preparations to return to a sense of calmness in hope of greater and better persons, places, and things in this moment of physical distancing, it is my prayer that when the time comes, we re-enter with the confidence of David, the shepherd boy who found himself in sometimes unfamiliar places. If it becomes too familiar, permit oneself space to think; for the familiar will sooner or later become the unfamiliar. But when we dare to ponder, join me in a 9-week Sermon series on, “The 23rd Psalm”
May God continue to be our blessed Healer and Shepherd for unity and Peace in the world!
