For Tuesday, May 4, 2021
Psalm 95:7 GNT: “He is our God; we are the people he cares for, the flock for which he provides. Listen today to what he says.”
As Christians, we believe in one God who has made himself known to us in three different persons: God the Father on the throne of heaven; Jesus, who walked on earth alongside mankind; and the Holy Spirit, sent to be our advocate and comforter until Jesus returns – but really, one God.
When this Psalm was written, many pagan gods pervaded the culture. People would weigh the authenticity and benefits, and then make a decision to follow a god. What the people of God are saying here is that an irrevocable decision has been made: Yahweh is our God! It’s an intentional act of allegiance. “I belong to him, and He belongs to me. I am the sheep of his hand.”
Knowing that the Lord is our Shepherd fills us with hope!
Blessings and safety to all today!
