SPRING FORTH NOW 2024

The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:

he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, 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 mine enemies:

thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

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.

Psalm 23

On this day in which we celebrate Pentecost, the coming of the Holy Ghost to our lives, we are reminded that the power that is waiting on us comes as a direct result of us tarrying with our fears.  Confront and engaging the very thing you are afraid of positions you for the extraction of God’s power already within you to overcome and inherit all things, a new life and community that yields your life and life more abundantly.  The early followers of Christ had to decide to confront their fear of death at the hands of those who had already crucified Christ by returning to the place where they were and after tarrying with God and their fear, the Word of promise to them and the reality of their experience brought about their power.  Your power will come with a cost, Anything Worth Having Comes With A Cost, confront and tarry with God and your fears, and as God, His Word for your life shepherd you, you will extract from life the ability to Open Up the Way to your more, your life and life more abundantly.
