LW: Sheep are foolish. They wander away, fall into a ditch here or get caught in a thicket there. Then what? The shepherd goes out and restores the sheep

Study 4A THE SWEETEST PSALM OF ALL
(Scripture Portion: Psalm 23)
This psalm is undoubtedly one of the best loved passages in the Bible. Whoever we are, wherever we are and whatever circumstances we are in, it has its message for us. The whole psalm is a wonderful illustration of the truth expressed in Proverbs 4:18. The position of the psalm is significant. Psalm 22 is PAST tense and speaks to us of the Good Shepherd (John 10:11); Psalm 23 is PRESENT tense and speaks to us of the Great Shepherd (Hebrews 13:20-21); and Psalm 24 is FUTURE tense, speaking to us of the Chief Shepherd (1 Peter 5:4).
The key that unlocks the whole psalm is the opening phrase: “The Lord is my shepherd……” He is a shepherd, but best of all, He is my shepherd. Is He yours? It is only when we know Him that the blessings of the rest of the psalm become ours. It is possible to know the psalm without knowing the shepherd; it is better to know both!
#. If the Lord is my Shepherd – POSSESSION – verse 1 assures me that “ I shall not be in want . ”
Verse 1 has two parts, and the one cannot be divorced from the other. Possessing Christ, we possess all things. If He is mine and I am His, how can I ever be in want? Look up Philippians 4:19 and Colossians 2:9-10. “I shall not be in want” –- of what? “Any good thing” (Psalm 34:9-10). Notice the good things which are enumerated in the following verses: Security (1), provision (2,5), rest (2), refreshment (2), guidance (2,3), restoration (3), comfort (4), protection (4,5), enduement (5), satisfaction (5), prospect (6). Now look up 1 Corinthians 3:21-23!watch out for the concluding part....before then my question is Is God truly your Shepherd? Take some time to pray concerning this study

Study3....A Christian is one who is prepared to suffer for the sake of Christ, if necessary. This suffering, as we have seen, is described in detail by Peter.

@Livingwater Study3: Christian 1peter4:12-19 . First, "Christian" was not so much a name that they chose as a name that was applied to them (they "were called Christians"). This is consistent with our observation that it was a term placed upon them by hostile critics. Second, it was a term that was placed on "the disciples." This helps us to establish the meaning of the term: A Christian is a disciple, a follower of Christ, one who clings to the gospel . Furthermore, a Christian is one who is prepared to suffer for the sake of Christ, if necessary. This suffering, as we have seen, is described in detail by Peter. It entails a life patterned after the life and death of Jesus, a life of service to God and others. This is the Scriptural picture of what a Christian is... Let consider the two points 1 .A Christian is someone who WITNESSES FOR CHRIST (Acts 26 :28 ) Here Paul is making his defence before King Agrippa, and notice that he is also pleadin...

@Livingwater Study 5A WHAT TO DO WITH LIFE’S BURDENS (Scripture Portion: Psalm 55) The key-verse of this study is Psalm 55:22. Look it up, for it introduces a theme that must make an appeal to all; we all have to carry burdens! This is a world of burden-bearing. Sorrow and trouble come alike to all mankind. There is no respect of persons; the rich have their share as well as the poor. How true are the statements in Job 5:7 and 14:1! Some have to carry heavier burdens than others, and some of us have little conception of the hidden burdens that some, maybe our own friends, are carrying. Often the deepest and most poignant burdens are not seen. 1 . What kind of burdens do people carry ? 1. Burdens to do with the home. To most of us home is “sweet”, but not to all. In many homes there is poverty, sickness, and strained or broken relationships. 2. The burdens of business responsibilities. 3. Burdens in connection with the Lord’s work (2 Corinthians 11:28). 4. Burdens to do with ou...

LW..How can a man approach God and be accepted by Him? There are two ways –- the true way and the false way, and these are represented by Cain and Abel and the offerings they brought to the Lord

@Livingwater(LW)  THE EXERCISE OF FAITH – ABEL (Scripture Portions: Hebrews 11:1-4; Genesis 4:1-8; Luke 18:10-14) In this series of studies we shall consider some of the Heroes of Faith in Hebrews 11. This chapter contains the most complete treatise on faith to be found in the Bible, and its biographical illustrations show us faith at work in the lives of a great variety of people. We shall see the presence, the principle, the power and the possibilities of faith. These men and women were all ordinary, sinful people; but they are mentioned because they believed God. Faith is the indispensable quality for which God looks –- look up Hebrews 11:6 and 1 John 5:10. The difference between the Christian and the non-Christian is that in the life of the former the principle of faith is operative, whereas in the life of the latter faith is not present –- look up Habakkuk 2:4; Romans 1:17; Galatians 3:11; Hebrews 10:38. The first man of faith who is mentioned is Abel –- read Hebrews 11:...
