“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” Psalm 23:1, NKJV.
I remember when I first met the Lord, I would simply sit down at the side of my bed and listen to worship music, and just spend time with the Lord. Spend time in His presence. One of my favorite songs was “Keeping My Mind” by Fred Hammond. It was about every day, every new morning, I was going to keep my mind on Jesus. One particular verse in the song said “You have proven to be all that I need”. I didn’t know a lot. I had needs, I had things I was facing, but as I came before Him, He would meet every need I had.
The Lord knows you have needs, but let the Lord be Who you come to with them. Simply sit with Jesus, and find that He is enough. Find the sufficiency of the Shepherd. A simple place. And be careful. Anxiety and our own works can indicate we’re making life complicated and are lacking closeness with the Lord. Return to simplicity. The Lord will prove to be all you need.
Prayer: Father, You know my needs, but I come to You just to spend time with You. I worship You. You are my first love, my joy, and my peace. You are the answer to everything I face. You have proven to be all that I need. I simply abide in You. I sit in Your presence. I return to a simple place, You Jesus. In Jesus’ name, Amen!
