Here Am I

Another jumble of words to fill the blogosphere. But it's mine, so I'll carry on for a while. I've recently acquired a few new toys and I want this space to record our progress together.

I also want to share the encouragement spoken to me from the Word of the Lord. There has been much as I wait before Him. And while I am deeply moved when the Holy Spirit makes God's Word come alive, I know it is not 'private interpretation,' as stated in II Peter - it's for all of us - the Body of Christ.

Psalm 95

Come, let us bow down in worship,

let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;

for he is our God

and we are the people of his pasture,

the flock under his care.

Long ago, I learned this Psalm set to a lovely tune. I've been singing it for several days, experiencing joy from knowing the simple fact that we are His sheep and He will care for us and provide pasture. And what is pasture? A place of nourishment, safety and protection, rest, all under the watchfulness of the Good Shepherd himself, Jesus.
