It comes down to trust — This week at ELC

June 23, 2017 by john

Psalm 23  Today’s psalm is an expression of ultimate trust. We do not know what perils may lie ahead. But we do know our shepherd, who guides and protects us.  What could our lives look like if we could live free of worry, fear, and always wanting for something more?

Worship this week:

Saturday – 5:00 p.m. in the chapel

Sunday – 9:00 a.m. Combined worship (Followed by special meeting of the congregation)

Devotions for this week:

Psalm 23                                                                     June 25, 2017

 SHARE:   What was a high point of your day? What was a low point?

READ: Read the following daily readings to deepen your understanding

Sunday, Psalm 23

Monday, Psalm 11

Tuesday, Psalm 16

Wednesday, Psalm 46

Thursday, Psalm 52

Friday, Psalm 121

Saturday, Psalm 131

 TALK:  Consider some of these ideas:

 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. (Psalm 23:1)

  • Today’s psalm is an expression of ultimate trust. We do not know what perils may lie ahead. But we do know our shepherd, who guides and protects us.
  • “The Lord is my shepherd.” What other images for God speak to you? (Rock, friend, parent, lifeline, breath) Why?
  • Wonder: What does God love about sheep?
  • What does God love about you?
  • Think of something you have been reluctant to turn over to God. (A relationship, a struggle, control) Make a decision every day this week to let God handle it without your help.

 PRAY:  Loving God, you see the dangers ahead long before we could imagine them. Keep our eyes trained on the path, following in your trustworthy footsteps, by the grace of your spirit. Amen.

 BLESS:  May God guide and protect you in all that you do. Amen.
