Pastoral Reflections

Pastoral Reflections

message received:
I am your shepherd
you shall not want

PSALMS 23:1 KJV “(A Psalm of David.) 

 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

awakened as usual
it was after 3 and before 4
candle lit, tea in cup
readied for what was in store

before my meditation
the title arrived
pastoral reflections

settled in to write
a quick scan of emails
then going deep into meditation
and all that it entails

soon curious to know
what the new title meant
 the words were looked up
and above is what was sent

it came from our Lord
saying I am your Shepherd
and again referred to a Psalm
let us take in each word

when we honour the Lord
and surrender to His guidance and protection
we know we are safe
He is always there watching over us

our needs are looked after
our lives are lived in the flow
the Love and the Light
is there for us to know

Pastoral Reflections

and then the words…

I am your shepherd
you shall not want

PSALMS 23:1 KJV “(A Psalm of David.)
 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

awakened as usual
it was after 3 and before 4
candle lit, tea in cup
readied for what was in store

before my meditation
the title had arrived
pastoral reflections
and then a short phrase

settled in to write
a quick scan of emails
going deep into meditation
and all that entails

curious to know
what the new title meant
i looked up the words
and above is what was sent

it came from our Lord
saying I am your shepherd
and again referred to a Psalm

let us take in each word…
when we honour the Lord
and surrender to His guidance and protection
we know we are safe 

He is always there watching over us
our needs are looked after
our lives are lived in the flow
the love and the light
is there for us to know

Asking for Guidance

Asking for Guidance

Ask and you shall receive
Is that not what you believe?
Practice it and you will see
when you ask, advice is given free

And yet now you are given a choice
Will you listen, receive and then rejoice?
Or will you question and then think it through
and reverse the advice on what you could do?

Ask and you shall receive
Ask with your heart and your heart will believe
Feel it and know it – then give it some thought
and take action on the advice that you’ve sought
