GOD-TRACKING IS RESTING CONTENTED, AT THE TABLE OF THE LORD
by Dudley Anderson GodTracker 637 21 July 2017 GOD-TRACKING IS RESTING CONTENTED, AT THE TABLE OF THE LORD Psalm 23:5 Are you stressed out? Does it feel like your cup is running low? Stress has a way of turning any reasonable person into a bear with a sore head. Sometimes workloads overwhelm us to the extent that we feel like we’re an expanding balloon being pumped up until… pop! One symptom of stress is fatigue. Fatigue has a way of dragging one so low that he can hardly lift his head off the pillow in the morning. But I suggest, stressed is nothing more than desserts, spelled backwards. I love to sit down to a good full course meal with my lovely wife. And a good dinner can never be rushed. A well matured steak needs to be eaten slowly. I do enjoy a hearty dinner. However, my favourite part of the whole meal has to be the dessert. After a pleasant starter and a full main course, I may feel too full to eat any more, but there’s always room for dessert. A Scripture that has always alleviated my stress levels is Psalm 23. It reminds me that the Lord, whose name is Jehovah Rohi, is my shepherd. That is, Lord Jesus, the Good Shepherd, laid his life down under the most intense stressful conditions anyone could ever imagine, only to bring me peace. Through Jesus, Jehovah Rohi has prepared a table for me in the presence of my enemies. God-tracking is resting contented, at the table of the Lord.
