Know Things

Perhaps one reason we’ve lost our sense of wonder today is because answers no longer elude us: if you have an electronic device, you have answers!  Then, of course, there’s Mister Bill who responds to my how-do-you-know-that questions with a confident, “I know things.”  Psalm 23 begins with a statement of five words that should be enough: “The LORD is my shepherd.” Although gentle and fluffy, sheep aren’t known for their intelligence. Nonetheless, they know things about their shepherd. They knowingly trust the shepherd to care for their every need. A shepherd himself, David knew the characteristics of God as Shepherd! He understood by following (being led by) The Shepherd, he would be completely cared for; rest, peace, restoration, righteousness, protection, courage, preservation, provision, healing, joy, goodness and mercy were his “all the days” of life (from Verses 1-6). David knew things! Do you confidently know these things? Know The Shepherd and you too will … know things.
