Psalms 95:7
Psalms 95:7
For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice,
In this verse, the psalmist highlights the dominance and ownership of God over His followers. These words invite all people to understand through personal experience that the Lord is their Creator and Shepherd. By natural authority, God holds ownership over humanity, but through redemption, He holds a special bond with believers. The verse employs the image of a shepherd, representing a guiding and nurturing protector for those under their care. We should be aware that the Almighty God is the supreme Creator of the universe and every person within it. He is the One Who molded and fashioned us into existence. God, not us, brought us into being. Those of us who have put our faith in Christ as our Savior should also acknowledge that we belong to Him as His people and His flock. As His redeemed children, we should consider ourselves dead to sin and alive in Christ Jesus, our Lord. He is the Majestic Lord of the universe and Master Creator, enthroned above the cherubim, yet He is also our compassionate Shepherd, leading us to peaceful waters, nurturing our souls, guiding us to righteousness, and always present to help us navigate the challenges of life, even in the darkest moments.
John 15:16
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
John 15:2
Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.
Psalms 20:7
Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the Lord our God.
Acts 19:18
And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
