John 10:11 I AM the good shepherd...
Our God is the Great I AM. Jesus Himself is the great I AM. Present tense. He is in our now so we need to stay in the now as well. There's no point in going back into our past, whether it's to bemoan our mistakes or failures, or even to remember the good old days. There is no favour or grace in our past that we can draw on.
God is the I AM in our here and now so there's no point in going forward either, and worrying about our future because God graces us and favours us for our present. He gives us daily bread not tomorrow bread. Fretting over our tomorrows will only drain us of the energy we need today.
When tomorrow comes, when our future comes, God will be there as our great I AM and He will supply and impart to us whatever it is we'll have need of. He will be our Provider, our Healer, our Wisdom, our everything, just like He is to us right now at this moment in time.
Jesus is here with us in our present, so let's live in the present with Him because all the grace and favour we need today is right here, right now, in the person of the Lord Jesus himself.
He is our Good Shepherd and good shepherds look after their sheep, protect them and feed them on green pastures today. When Jesus fed the five thousand He fed them there and then, not the next day. All we, as the sheep have to do, is go where He leads us and do as He tells us and He'll make sure we have more than enough. All will be well. 😊
Thank You Lord.
