Shepherd of my soul I give you full control, [Verse 1]

Wherever You may lead I will foll-ow.
Great is Your faithfulness oh God

The Shepherd of my soul is by my side.
Great is Your love and justice God
Should I face the stormy weather or the dangers
You use the weak to lead the strong

You lead us in the song of Your salvation
The Shepherd of my soul will be my guide.
And all Your people sing along

So remember Your people

I Am A Friend Of God Remember Your children

hidden from view, but they are absolutely essential.
Without those deep roots, the tree will fall over in a storm
or die during a drought.

When we genuinely trust in Christ, God roots us in Him,

but we need to continually sink down more roots into Him.
This is the hidden part of your walk with Christ that others
dont see. It refers to your heart before God and your time
alone with Him. Some go to church and act like
Christians. Outwardly, it seems that they are Christians.
But in the hidden person of their heart, they have never
truly trusted in Jesus as their Savior and Lord. They
never spend time alone with Him, seeking Him in His
Word and in prayer. Then a storm comes up and they
crash. They werent rooted in Christ. Are you sinking
down roots in Him?

grumbling. I think Ive made progress, but Im still prone
to grumble when things dont go as I want them to go.
Like the Israelites in the wilderness, instead of thanking
God for delivering me from bondage to sin and providing
me with all the blessings of His salvation, I complain
about the little things. But as I think about my salvation
and all that God has done for me, I should be overflowing
with gratitude to Him for His abundant grace.

In Colossians, Paul repeatedly emphasizes thankfulness.

As we saw (Col. 1:12), we should be giving thanks to the
Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of
the saint in Light. (See, also, Col. 1:3; 3:15, 16; 4:2.) The
application is that grumblers will be more susceptible to
the lure of false teaching. In my marriage, if Im thankful
for Marla and delight in her, Im less susceptible to the
temptations of another woman. With the Lord, a grateful
heart that is satisfied daily with His abundant blessings
wont be attracted by false teaching.

Conclusion

This March, Marla and I will celebrate 42 years of

marriage. What began so wonderfully all those years ago
has continued and gotten even better. How has that
happened? Well, weve gone on in the same way we
started: Im hopelessly infatuated with her and she
tolerates me!

Are you going on with Christ Jesus the Lord in the same
way you received Him? Dont lose your first love for the
wonderful, exalted Savior who loves you and gave
Himself for you! If your love for Him has cooled and

And every tear you cry
Is precious in His eyes
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done

Could make Him love you more
And nothing that you've done
Could make Him close the door
Because of His great love
He gave His only Son
Everything was done
So you would come
Come to the Father
Though your gift is small
Broken hearts, broken lives
He will take them all
The power of the Word
The power of His blood
Everything was done

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
But theres actually more encouragement in this verse
than you might think at first. You see, Paul wrote these
words while facing some of the worst trials of his life.
Despite the threat of pain and death, he realized that God
gives us strength in ways that go beyond the good times
and the everything-is-okay moments. The strength of
Christ reaches right down into our turmoil and pain.
And its there that we can truly do all things. Here are 3
surprising ways this happens:
1. Through Trials
But what truly sets us apart as followers of Jesus is that
we can find victory in the most difficult trials. James knew
that type of struggle very well, and yet he could honestly
say:
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face
trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of
your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must
finish its work so that you may be mature and complete,
not lacking anything. (James 1:24)
Christ gives us the strength to not only endure the tough
times, but also to grow during them. We arent meant to
just slog through the pain; were meant to see our faith
blossom right in the face of our battles. God equips us
with the armor we need to stand firm:
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the
day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground,
and after you have done everything, to stand.
(Ephesians 6:13)
Thats the kind of strength Jesus gives.
2. Through Contentment
If theres ever a fight that goes on in us humans, its the
constant struggle to be content. Disappointments,
setbacks, and delays keep hammering away at us. Apart
from Christ, wed quickly trip and stumble our way into
bitterness and entitlement. After all, this world tells us that
we deserve to be happy, and its easy to buy into that
mindset.
But in Christ, we move our eyes off the things we dont
have, the frustrations that surround us, and we put them
where they need to be. Pauls words from prison show
this spiritual truth in action:
I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to
have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in
any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry,
whether living in plenty or in want. (Philippians 4:12)
How can we have this type of contentment? By turning
our attention from what we think we need to the only thing
that truly matters:
For the pagans run after all these things, and your
heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first
his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things
will be given to you as well. (Matthew 6:3233)
After all, our hope isnt in what we have or dont have
here on earth. Our hope is in Christ:
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we
brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing
out of it. (1 Timothy 6:67)
Jesus gives us the strength to see beyond our present
circumstances and to trust in Him to provide everything
we truly need.
3. Through His Victory
Our greatest victory, however, isnt really ours at all. We
can face any situation and be content no matter what
happens because of one important fact:
But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 15:57)
Jesus died in our place and came back to life as a true
Conqueror, and all He accomplished gets credited to our
account. We didnt earn a single bit of it, but were
guaranteed so much.
Peace:
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have
peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I
have overcome the world. (John 16:33)
Life:
For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the
unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in
the body but made alive by the Spirit (1 Peter 3:18)
A fresh start:
Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come! (2 Corinthians
5:17)
He won the victory, and we get to share the prize. Now,
thats how we can truly do all things through Christ.
