I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed and inadequate given the multitude of tasks that need be done. This legal and structural transition with Shibboleth is more challenging than I had realized but I won’t draw back. Fear is on the rise and my faith on the decline until……

I spend time with the Lord.

His rod and staff, they comfort me. It’s in this moment that I realize I’m a sheep but not one without a Shepherd. I have a good Shepherd and I know His voice. He came looking for me this morning knowing my heart struggles and had went astray.

He took his rod and pushed the wolves away from me. The wolves of fear, regret, negative thoughts and inadequacy. While pushing the wolves away with His rod, He gently pulled me near with His staff.

Death where is thy sting and grave where is your victory?

Jesus. Jesus. Jesus.

The lover of my soul. The protector of my heart. The caretaker of my body.

Oh how I’ve been unfaithful! Yet, Jesus is ever faithful.

He walks in front of me, beside me and behind me.

I love my life, my wife, my children and my Shibboleth members. All of which have been ever faithful to me.

May the Lord bless all of my friends and enemies this morning and ever more.
