James challenges us to evaluate the nature of how we use our resources in times of plenty and how we rely on our faith in times of poverty. We remember that in all times we live with an eternal perspective and with the reality that each day brings us one day closer to Jesus’ return. Our days are limited and we can use them best when we give our ‘yes’ to God.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
