Praise be to God! ๐Ÿ™Œโฃ I can't believe Psalm 23 is finally done, Wohoo! ๐ŸŽ‰ โฃ โฃ It seems like only yesterday when I told God that I wanted to make an artwork for Psalm 23 other than it's a well known chapter in the Book of Psalms but also because it talks about the blessings and promises we can experience in life if we let Jesus Christ be our shepherd.โฃ โฃ In this last verse, God's promise to us his children is that his goodness and mercy shall relentlessly chase and pursue us in our journey through life. โฃ โฃ Try to think about it, if God's goodness and mercy shall follow us all the days of our lives here on earth, how much more in the life to come?๐Ÿคฏ โฃ โฃ And lastly, the Psalm ends with a wonderful promise and that is we may constantly enjoy and worship the LORD as we dwell in his presence forever.โฃ โฃ Who is the Good Shepherd? It is ๐‰๐„๐’๐”๐’, who lays down His life for His sheep.โฃ โฃ God bless everyone, Shalom!๐Ÿ’› #sheepadoodle #sheep #sheepadoodles #psalm23 #goodnessandmercy #dwell #shepherds #kidlitart #kidlit #kidlitillustration #jesuschrist #thegoodshepherd #illustration #illustrated #30daysbiblelettering #bibleart #biblecreative #christiancommunity #illustration_best #illustrationoftheday #artbible #artph #artsygirl #arttime #inspired #shalom #jesรบs #bibleillustration #scripture #scriptureart https://www.instagram.com/p/CD8BDufF9Wt/?igshid=1p8e8cdt52rhd

๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธโฃ Hello, Everyone! How are you all doing?๐Ÿ˜โฃ โฃ I'm happy to share with you God's word today, as we continue on studying Psalm 23:5b.โฃ โฃ Sheep were anointed by shepherds to them keep out from deadly bugs. This verse tells us that God protects us from the things that would harm us.โฃ โฃ The allegory is also a reminder of the anointing oil poured over the head of the Psalmist which is David by Samuel (1 Sam 16:13) to ๐ฌ๐ž๐ญ him ๐š๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐ญ for the work he had called him to, as king of Godโ€™s people.โฃ โฃ Not only does God provide what we need. He always gives us more. Because our cup overflows, we can be generous like our Father and use what he has given us to be his blessing upon other people.โฃ โฃ Psalm 23:5 is a part of the hospitality of God toward us his people, setting us apart at his blessed table, fed and protected.โฃ โฃ God bless everyone, Shalom!๐ŸŒผโฃ โฃ Reference:โฃ https://connectusfund.org/psalm-23-5-meaning-of-my-cup-overflows #sheepadoodle #shepherd #shepherds #anointed #oil #cup #psalm23 #scripture #biblecreative #artbible #artph #artsygirl #bibleillustration #30daysbiblelettering #kidlitart #kidlit #kidillustration #kidillustrations #creativeart #creativecommunity #illustrate #illustratedart #christiancreative #christiancommunity #arttime #bibleart #biblejournaling #biblejournalingcommunity #wordofgodspeak #bibleverseoftheday https://www.instagram.com/p/CDVZSYsHsuv/?igshid=jag1z3zbkgod

๐ŸŒปโฃ Hi, Everyone! I just want to share this message to you all because I've found this so enlightening. ๐Ÿ˜Š โฃ โฃ Today, as we study Psalm 23:5a there are three key words we need to take note of and these are:โฃ โ€ขPrepareโฃ โ€ขTableโฃ โ€ขEnemiesโฃ โฃ First, the Hebrew word for ๐ฉ๐ซ๐ž๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐ž means to โ€œ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ" or to โ€œ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏโ€. God is ordaining something special for you. He is setting things in an orderly way, he is arranging things and he is laying things out. This implies that Godโ€™s kind of preparation is very intentional and that He is actively setting things up for you. โฃ โฃ Second, the Hebrew word for ๐ญ๐š๐›๐ฅ๐ž implies a "๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ญ" or a "๐˜ง๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต". It means provision or sustenance.ย God gives us provision in lavish form, right in the midst of our troubles. He actually provides for us as we are under attack by distresses and evil. โฃ โฃ Lastly, the Hebrew word for ๐ž๐ง๐ž๐ฆ๐ข๐ž๐ฌ means โ€œ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜บ" or "๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ฆ". God blesses us even in front of those that hate and despise us. โฃ โฃ We know that the psalmist of Psalm 23 is none other than David. This verse gives us a glimpse of how David's foes mocked him and his trust in God. David was powerless to overcome them and for years, he had been crying out, โ€œ๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ, ๐˜– ๐˜“๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ? ๐˜ž๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜จ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ? .ย .ย . ๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ?โ€ย (Ps. 13:1โ€“2). But the Lord vindicated David and shown to be the one whom the Lord loves and delights to honor, while his enemies are powerless and put to shame. The Lord spreads a fabulous feast for David and receives him as the guest of honor at the banquet. โฃ โฃ So, be encouraged and remain faithful in your walk with God because we know that He is a great rewarder for those who diligently seek him and love him.โฃ โฃ God bless everyone, Shalom!๐ŸŒป โฃ References:โฃ https://www.google.com/amp/s/innerviewtv.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/you-prepare-a-table-in-the-presence-of-my-enemies/amp/โฃ https://tabletalkmagazine.com/article/2018/08/you-prepare-a-table-for-me-in-the-presence-of-my-enemies/ https://www.instagram.com/p/CC91QZyHIMp/?igshid=17scxumwzocdk

๐Ÿ‘โฃ The second part of Psalm 23:4b tells us about the essential tools in shepherding. These are the rod and the staff.โฃ โฃ The "rod" refers to a scepter that shows power and authority. It is also used for defense, as well as to discipline the sheep.โฃ โฃ On the other hand, the "staff" is used for protection and for drawing the sheep closer to the shepherd. God's staff is also there for us to lean on, to rest and to find peace.โฃ โฃ Jesus being our shepherd uses his rod to remind us of his authority over all dominions and powers. It protects us from "wolves" and any other harmful thing that may want to attack and devour us. โฃ โฃ Sometimes, God's protection also includes His discipline where God needs to break our leg (discipline) in order for us to stay close to Him.โฃ โฃ In Hebrews 12:11, we are reminded that when God disciplines us, it is not joyful. It is challenging and painful.

โฃ Last time I shared about the verse Psalm 23:1 that tells us about the Lord being our shepherd who provides everything we need and in him we will not lack any good thing.โฃ โฃ In Psalm 23:2a it explains how our Good Shepherd provides means for us to be satisfied. The words "He makes me..." is a causative verb which means to say that He ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ด me to lie down. This is because sheep will not lie down if it is hungry, scared and unsatisfied. To be able to rest completely like that means all their needs are met. Hence, Jesus ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ด me to lie down and be content.โฃ โฃ Green Pastures on the other hand, represents God's best for you and me. It is the Shepherd's job to make sure that the sheep have green pastures. โฃ โฃ "Sometimes we think that the other grass is greener across the fence, thinking they have it better."โฃ - Ptr. Peter Tan-Chiโฃ โฃ Don't compare what you have to others. Your green pasture is God's best for you!โฃ โฃ God bless everyone, Shalom! #sheepsheep #shepherds #sheeps #sheep๐Ÿ‘ #cutesheep๐Ÿ‘ #sheepcute #artbible #artbibles #artbiblecommunity #artdigital #artjournaling #artbiblejournaling #versebible #versebibledaily #verseoftheday #verseoftheday๐Ÿ™ #verseoftheday๐Ÿ“– #ibispaintapp #ibis #studybible #alittlebitofjesus #greenpastures #greenpasture #wordofjesus https://www.instagram.com/p/CBza387n157/?igshid=47zgh7qb1xzb
