Psalm 23:1-3
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for His name’s sake.
With all of the hustle and bustle going on in the world surrounding the Coronavirus Pandemic; perhaps we needed this reminder that the Lord Jesus is our Shepherd. We lack nothing when we have Him! He will provide for us and keep us safe! He will keep us calm when the world panics. Jesus will refresh our souls with His peace in our hearts as we keep our hearts and minds focused on Him. As the Prophet Isaiah wrote: “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.” (Cf. Isaiah 26:3)
I thought maybe we should remember the peace that we have within us. Here are a few Scriptures to keep us close to the God of peace:
John 14:25-27 (NIV)
25 “All this I have spoken while still with you. 26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.
Philippians 4:7 (NIV)
6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
2 Thessalonians 3:16 (NIV)
16 Now may the Lord of peace Himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you.
