WE ARE GOD’S PEOPLE

Psalm 100:3 NLT Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

A couple of days ago we were looking at how we’ve come back to the Shepherd and Guardian of our souls. Today’s verse reminds us we are one of His sheep and the importance of acknowledging that the Lord is our God because He made us and we belong to Him. How grateful to Him we can be for that and why would we want any other God?  

Psalm 100:1-2 the Psalmist talks about shouting and singing about it with joy! Maybe if we did that we wouldn’t be so inclined to grumble or complain about things!😊

Do we ever have days though when we catch ourselves sounding like we’ve forgotten we’re one of God’s sheep? Or do we ever behave as though we’ve forgotten God’s word is true when we don’t see ourselves experiencing it yet? We may need to get our faith out, dust it off and stand on God’s word again!

Or maybe you’ve tried to remind someone of one of God’s promises to encourage them and they’ve come back to you with “Yes, but….” and they give you reasons why not! We all need to get our ‘buts’ out of the way because faith believes that when God’s word says it, then He means it, and it is so!😊

We can be encouraged today because God has said ‘we are His people, the sheep of His pasture.” That means God is for us and we’re no longer under the devil’s control but the enemy is actually under our feet! Jesus gave us His authority over the devil and all his works and we have the right to exercise that authority in the name of Jesus.

So let’s acknowledge the Lord is our God and agree with His Word, resist the devil and tell him to flee in the name of Jesus. Amen.
