Praise God Saints! Through it all we will make it. In this weeks preaching, we will continue the series on the 23rd Psalm, as we consider "The Lord as Our Shepherd." This week is part 2, which addresses David's declaration "I lack nothing" (NIV) or (KJV) is "I shall not want."  Please pray over this. Here is the text again…

TEXT: Psalm 23 (New International Version)
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, 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 overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD    forever.

WHAT THE SERMON IS ABOUT: This second week the sermon is about the reality and nature  of God's provision.

SUGGESTED CHILDREN'S MESSAGE: Let’s teach the children the lesson of finding sufficiency in what God provides.
RESPONSIVE READING: #565 God’s Providential Care
MAY MEMORY VERSE: John 10:10  The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full. (NIV)

Bless you people of God. My heart and prayers are with you.

Praise the Lord people of God! Today I am encouraged by the words the Apostle Paul wrote to the people of God long ago”...Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God” (Philippians 4:6). In other words saints, Paul was saying; regardless of what’s going on in your life, don’t worry, just pray, be grateful, and tell God all about it—He can handle it!!

This is the final week (3), of the three part series “In it--to win it” Our primary text is again from the book of Hebrews. Here is our text…
