Faith Not Fear Podcast Mari Jo Mast

The Lord is a Good Shepherd. He leads, protects, comforts and honors His sheep - He provides us with everything we need.

The Lord of Heaven’s armies dwells among His people. Israel’s God is our place of safety. Be still, recognize and acknowledge He is God!

The Lord said David was a man after His own heart. I can see why, after reading these verses. Along with David, we lay our hearts before Him - We trust Him to reveal and expose hidden things in our soul that hinder us from walking in the freedom Jesus came to set us free from. He already made us clean in our spirit - our soul becomes full of the things we fill it with and meditate on, and is a reflection of what we believe. It is our job to keep it clean.

One of my favorite chapters of the Bible - how can we not praise our Heavenly Father when we learn and understand how good He actually is? David knew the character and heart of God long before Jesus came. How much more can we relish in His great love since we benefit from living on the other side of the cross today? It is finished! Oh how He loves us. Praise Him!

Our Heavenly Father’s character never changes - He stays the same during good and bad times. I pray these verses minister to you as you listen and meditate on His absolute goodness!

I love this Psalm! Many times as I read, it ministers deeply to my heart. I pray as you listen, Holy Spirit will open your soul to receive all that is yours through Jesus. You are loved by Him more than you know.
