The Lord My Shepherd I''ll Not Want

When I left my family and came to Australia as land far away, I felt so isolated and far removed despite the modern technology that kept me close to my loved ones. Being together in person and expereincing the intimacy is a unique social creation of God that we cannot deny in our so called modern world.

How terrible it must have been for David as well when he left his family and was always on the run as a fugitive. Saul was after David as he was a threat to his throne.

How really David felt God's presence in his life as a fugitive is reflected in Pslam 23 . The Lord was his shepherd he will not want, he writes in Psalm 23. He makes him to lay down in green pastures despite his being away from home. He had all he needs.

The Lord's being good to me to have Mark and Marion Schubert as my guardian in Adelaide when I am studing Hebrew for my research work at Charles Sturt University in Sydney. They are concrete guiding and shepherding hands of God to me. I can clearly the Lord's staff protects me, leads me to quiet pools of water and feeds me.
