How well you know your Shepherd, will determine how much of green pastures you see around in your life.
The less we know Jesus Christ our good Shepherd, the more dry grass and no pastures we will find around us. God wants to lead you to a green pastures, if you are his sheep. God always wanted to give you green pastures, instead of a dry morsel. From the very beginning, God gave Adam and Eve a green pastures, and more, the Paradise. God hates lack in your life, as much as you do. Just read Psalm 23:1. The very two verses of Psalm 23, show that God hates lack in your life, and loves to take you to a place, where you will just relax, and enjoy the green pastures of provision from him, because you are his beloved child. And even if you walk in the valley of death, and the valley of Covid 19, and there is darkness all around you, God still wants to prepare a table in front of you, to supply your need and beyond, so much so, that even the enemies of your soul, will just look in dismay, at the abundance from God in your life, and not be able to do anything about it, apart from being jealous - Psalm 23:4, 5 Notice in verse 5, it says that your cup will overflow. You see that? God is not only concerned that there is no lack of what you need in your life, but he want your life, to be overflowing with his provision, just as Jesus did supply many baskets of leftovers, for the thousand of people, who were with him, listening for him and his teaching for days, leaving their daily engagements behind, in order to be with him. Seek first the Kingdom of God.

Jeremiah 31:12, 13, 14
We can see in those verses, what the will of God for us as Christians is. Those verses in Jeremiah's book, are for Israel, but we as Christians are called in the Bible also spiritual Jews. God has those blessings for us, as he had them for the Jews. God wants us to have abundance, and not just abundance, but to shout for joy because of the abundance and in his material provisions for us. God wants us to be glad, and to dance. Good earthly parents, also want their children to be glad and to dance, because that will give them joy too. Just look at verse 13, and we can see, that God is concerned for our troubles and suffering, wants to comfort us, and to give us joy. In fact, that verse says that God does not want his children to have sorrow. That completely eliminates the idea, which some people believe, that God gives them the suffering and trouble, so that he can teach them something through it. But according to these verses here, it is not so. Verse 14 shows something similar to what Jesus said, that he has come to give us abundant life. |
