My flesh

Something I have been meditating on, over the past few weeks
I was thinking about what it is that I am fearing, have I dealt with this and what is the answer?

Will I be the man that has the ability to lay down my selfish life and do what GOD wants me to do.  Its scary when you know you could just remain where your at in life- what kind of man could do such a thing? I think these past 10 years I have been living like that. Instead of calling out to Christ, I just stayed in the "boat" (Mathew 14:22-33).

As I have been typing this up GOD gave me this scripture.

Psalm 23:2-3

1 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,

he leads me beside quiet waters,

3 he restores my soul.

He guides me in 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 overflows.

6 Surely goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.

A surrendered man saved by grace-

The burden is on Jesus, he is the Shepherd-

Lots of thoughts right now-

I need to chew on this a bit more.
