the LORD is my shepherd Archives

Carol
Approvingly nodding as she samples my refreshing ‘pick-me-up’ drink.
“Mmmm, let me know what you put in this. I could have this every day.”

me
“Wheatgrass…”

before I get any further, the contents of Carol’s mouth empty over my sink.

Carol
“Mimi, that’s feral! You don’t feed people grass!”

I shrug and grab her glass as well.
Yum, two for me today.

Carol
Shaking her head from side to side.
“About the mark of the Beast.”

me
“What about it?”
Sipping my yummy pick-me-up.

Carol
“You reckon, just listening to certain songs will get you the mark?”

me
“What do you reckon?”

Carol
“I guess it makes sense. Whatever you fill your head with and whatever you sing along with…“

me
“Makes sense to me. I don’t like people blasting that loud rough stuff into my ears, it gives me the creeps.”

Carol
“Never really gave it much thought, to be honest. I like turning the music up loud when I’m cleaning the house. Don’t really care what’s on as long as it is loud with a groovy tune.”

me
“Whatever works for you, Carol. I like instrumentals. That way I don’t have to figure out what my mind is being influenced by, or should I say poisoned with?“

Carol
“That’s a bit rough.”

me
“You were worried about getting the mark of the Beast, right?”

Carol
“Well, everyone is talking about it.”

me
“Sure. If you don’t want to line up for this mark. Stay away from music feeding you a scenario you don’t want to be part of.”

Carol
“I guess.”

me
“Find a leader, a shepherd to guide you. I’ll share my favourite with you.“

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes to lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness f
or His Name sake.
Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil.
For thou art with me.
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me,
in the presence of my enemies.
Thou anoinst my head with oil.
My cup it runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life.
And I will dwell in the House of the Lord.
Forever. Forever.
Psalm 23.

It’s my favourite.

Who are you following? Our Heavenly Father and His Son? Or are you following earthly idols? Wherever your idols are going, is where you’ll end up too.

All good, as long as you enjoy the journey and are looking forward to the destination.

Live forever according to scripture

On this blog ‘live forever how to’ we’re going through the bible to see where the words, ‘live forever’ have been mentioned. I am no expert on this and that is precisely why I am going through GOD’s Word to see what the Expert on the subject has to say about eternal life.

I’ve so far recapped the posts on this subject twice. One on the twelfth of September and the other time on June twenty-fifth of this year. This is the third post where I am recapping all the posts on this subject. If you want to see all the posts that I’ve written so far this year on the words ‘Live forever’ you can also click on the categories list which can be found on the right hand side of the screen in the sidebar. This is where all the posts on living forever are bundled together in one long readout.

Recapping where in the bible the words ‘live for ever’ are mentioned.

And here is collection one and two and this is three.

The Lord is my shepherd

In Psalm 23 we’re told that the LORD is our shepherd and this is another occasion in the bible where we are assured that we can live for ever.

Yom Kippur – Day of Atonement

We learn that Yom Kippur is a Feast of The LORD and is to be celebrated forever throughout all generations in all our dwellings.

Some to everlasting life

The thirteenth time the words ‘live(th) for ever’ are used in the bible we read that about many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life. We also read about Him that lives forever. The book of life is mentioned and some that shall shine as stars for ever and ever.

Curious about seo

In the seo optimised article we read that Christians believe that everlasting life is promised to them who will accept Jesus as their saviour and to have everlasting life you must be born again. And we’re assured that everyone shall be rewarded according to their work.

What is GOD’s name?

There are many differing opinions on the subject of God’s name but it is my understanding that the meaning of the name Yehovah is, ‘He who was,’ ‘now is’ and ‘is to come.’ Sounds like forever to me.

The prophets, do they live forever?

The fourteenth time the word’s ‘live forever’ are mentioned in the bible is in the book of the prophet Zechariah where he writes, ‘Your fathers, where are they? and the prophets, do they live forever?’ And we realise that it is GOD’s words that truly live forever.

He that eateth of this bread shall live forever.

The fifteenth and sixteenth time that the words ‘live forever’ are mentioned is when Jesus promises his followers that he’ll raise them up at the last day.

Do you believe that you’ll live forever?

Many, if not most people believe that they’ll live forever, as is evident from the responses and tributes of the team mates of late batsman Phillip Hughes.

With GOD all things are possible … true story.

Someone asks Jesus how to obtain eternal life and He responds by saying, ‘If thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.’ When prompted Jesus adds to this advice by saying, ‘If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.’ For various reasons I left everything I had behind and when in need received a big fat check in the mail … with GOD all things are possible.

The Word of GOD lives forever.

The seventeenth time that the words ‘live for ever’ are mentioned in GOD’s Word, it is pointed out to us that GOD’s Word lives forever.

ABOUT THIS BLOG – We’re researching the truth of living forever according to GOD’s Holy Word; Sola Scripture. Popular opinion tells us that everyone who ‘believes’ and has ‘faith’ will go to heaven. Is this true? I decided to ask the prophets about the truth of it all.

Psalm 23 – The LORD is my shepherd

King David is believed to be the author of psalm 23 which is titled; The Lord is my shepherd. King David of course was a shepherd himself when he was a youngster and famously slew a lion and a bear defending his flock.

Jesus called himself the good shepherd and explained to his disciples that good shepherds defend their sheep with their life.

My daughters gifted me the words, ‘Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever’ engraved for a special occasion. That makes these words from psalm 23 extra special to me.

One day we may get around to ironing out some minor hick-ups in the song. Meanwhile, this is another occasion in the bible where we are assured that we can live for ever. That’s pretty sweet.

May all my readers dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
