Anyways, I really want to share with you some scripture that has really helped me get through the past couple of weeks: good ol' Psalm 23.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie in green pastures, he leadeth me beside still waters.
He restores my soul
He leads me down the path of righteousness for his name's sake.
And though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies
You anoint my head with oil, and my cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all of the days of my life
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

You anoint my head with oil, and my cup runneth over
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all of the days of my life

This is probably one of the most popular Psalms there has ever been, but I think so often we take for granted the powerful message that is here. No matter what we go through, no matter the amount of stress we are under, the enemies we face, the evil we come against, God is there. Not only is he there though, he gives us peace, he gives us rest, and he gives us unmeasurable blessings. I am so privileged to serve such a mighty God who cares so much about me. The love Jesus has for me is something I cannot even comprehend. How incredible that time after time he saves me, and like I deserve anything else, he blesses me too.
The scripture says he has anointed my head with oil, and my cup runneth over. I think that way too often I look at the ministry as some kind of burden, something I have to do. But God chose me, the ministry is a blessing. Psalm 16:5 says "Lord you have assigned me my portion and my cup, you have made my lot secure." So, God has assigned me this ministry, my lot is secure, my place with him is steadfast. I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. I am amazed by him.
