The Lord is my Shepherd

Recently I've been thinking a lot about the 23^rd Psalm. Yeah, the famous one from David that starts off by saying, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." What exactly did David mean? I turned to Max's book, Travelling Light, to gain some insight but I didn't expect this question:

"Are you in prison? You are if you feel better when you have more and worse when you have less. You are if joy is one delivery away, one transfer away, one award away, or one makeover away. If your happiness comes from something you deposit, drive, drink, or digest, then face it - you are in prison, the prison of want."

I got to admit that I'm far too familiar with the prison of want. Thankfully, Max reminds us that we "shall not want" when we trust the Good Shepherd. . .  The LORD (and the way we think about Him) impacts every aspect of our lives for the better. If we turn to Him, He will satisfy our every need.

In Max's latest radio special, "God's Story, Your Story," we hear from two people who have experienced great loss. They, however, found that when they allowed God to come into their lives, much like a shepherd would take care of his sheep, they we able to find peace. Both Sheila Walsh and J.J. Jasper have examined their lives from the darkest pits of despair - and have experienced the comfort that comes from God alone.

(Please email me at kiyong@ambaa.com if you are interested in airing the special!)

Max, however, doesn't only share this message in his books or radio specials! This is the very core of his daily 1:00 "UpWords^®" message. His pastoral heart, molded by his time with the Shepherd, will lift up your spirits and challenge you (gently, of course!) to look at Jesus.

Thank you for sharing this daily encouragement with your listeners! I'm confident that in doing so, you have helped many of them in the darkest moments of their lives as they set their sights on Jesus - our Good Shepherd!
