When in fear....


What makes you afraid? Once you recognize your fear, what do you do about it?  Today, with so many Americans facing "The Storm of the Century", it is a very good question indeed!!!  The cat is depicted as saying an excerpt from this psalm and I think it is an excellent path to follow.  Below, please find the Psalm in its entirety.

Psalm 23

A Psalm by David. 

  1 Yahweh is my shepherd:
I shall lack nothing.


  2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.


  3 He restores my soul.
He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.


  4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.


  5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.


You anoint my head with oil.
My cup runs over.

  6 Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in Yahweh’s house forever.

In church we sing the song "anywhere with Jesus", but what about living it?  And you don't even have to be a cat!!!!
