Thy Rod And Thy Staff, Ps 23:4
In Ps 23:4, David wrote, “thy rod and thy staff they comfort me”. The rod and the staff are the only two instruments a shepherd carried with him when he was with his flock. The shepherd usually carved his rod out of a sapling tree. He carved the heavier, club-like end of the rod […]
You Must Be Still, Ps 46:10
In life, you must be still, you must sit still, and you must stand still, in times of agitation, uncertainty, and adversity. Be still – Ps 46:10; to be still is to be quiet, calm, not agitated. In life, trouble will come, and your world will be turned upside down. In Ps 46:2-3, the earth […]
By Faith, Heb 11:23-40
In Heb 11:23-40, Paul recounts how former Jewish saints lived by faith and accomplished great things. By their example, he encourages Jewish Tribulation saints to live by faith, as well.

He Restoreth My Soul, Ps 23:3
In Psalm 23:3 David wrote, “He restoreth my soul”. To restore is to put back into former state. When I consider this portion of verse 3, I observe that: The Lord is the great restorer. David wrote, “The Lord is my shepherd”. “He” restoreth my soul. Everything in this world has been adversely affected by […]
When Jesus Saw The Multitudes, Matt 9
When Jesus saw the multitudes Matt 9:36-38, he was moved with compassion because they fainted, they were scattered abroad, and they were as sheep having no shepherd. They were: Sapped.
