You Can Be Content
Pastor Andy Wood
September 14/15, 2024
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides 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 love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23 (NIV84)
God is FOR YOU , you can DO THIS!!
Contentment is my ability to have peace and joy in all circumstances.
I Will Be Content When I:
- Pursue relationship with the Good Shepherd.
- Focus on what God has given me.
Comparison is the thief of contentment.
- Loosen my grip on stuff.
Individual Action Plan: Listen to The Well podcast’s personal retreat on the Psalm 23 phrase, “I Shall Not Want.”
Family Action Plan: If you picked up a copy of A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller at your campus this weekend, read chapters 1 and 2 to follow along with Pastor Andy in this walk through Psalm 23. As you read, talk about what stands out to you and pray together about finding greater contentment in God.
