Where the grass is greener

Where the grass is greener

No matter how many good things that we have in life just about all of us suffer from a deep feeling that we could do with just a little bit more.  Sometimes our dissatisfaction in life can flow over to our understanding of faith… we feel we want just a little bit more than Jesus can offer.  Pastor Joe looks at the most famous Psalm and highlights two stunning images of God that heal our “grass is always greener” hearts and help us find the satisfaction we crave.

Psalm 23

A Psalm of David.

23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
    for his name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
    I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.
