Allow Yourself to be moved

I AM MY SISTER'S KEEPER: Allow Yourself to be moved

For me being My Sister's Keeper means tha there are things I can't ignore...
It means I must do my best to lift a Sister up ...
Through prayer,
a Word in season
and
even providing a Listening ear...

The secret of being a Keeper is not allowing your senses to be "dulled"
...Allow a Holy Anger to move you
...Allow Compassion to move you
...Allow Injustice to move you ...
Because , to get things right in the world... One has to be moved...

Here is a link that  will tell you we can do more for our Sister's ... http://thecoloursisterhood.com/assets/csh/prayerlocations/South-Africa-2012.pdf

YHWH ROHI:Rod and Staff

...
Your Rod and Your Staff comfort me...Psalm 23
Psalm 23 in a loaded Song about the Character of our Good Shepherd ..
  • He LETS me....
  • He LEADS me...
  • He GUIDES me...
The Question is: Do I allow the Good Shepherd to Lead...Guide...and Rest me. I will answer that within.

Moving Along...
Is it not an irony that David was comforted by the Good Shepherds Rod and Staff.. ? How can a stick be comforting?
It is possible:
  • The Rod of our Shepherd protects me against the Enemy
  •  He uses it to pave the way before me in order to LEAD me in the way I should go.
  • The Shepherd uses the Rod to crush the head of the serpent..
  • He uses the Rod to guide and to give me assurance that I will not be lost...
Yes this is comforting...Your Rod ...Comfort me.

As I incline my ears to my Shepherds Voice, I'm comforted. I rest...

His Staff is also comforting... Painfully Comforting.

  • The Shepherd's Staff protects the sheep, me, against Myself
  • I go astray, so He uses it to draw me near...
  • I sometimes make silly decisions, based on my obscure sight... He draws me near
  • I incline to seek help outside of His provision, He draw me near to Himself.
  • The Shepherd sometimes has to break my ankle with His Staff, just to slow me down…
  • Hi Staff does the pruning of my wayward character..
Yes... How comforting..Hmmmm

I'm comforted because,
I'm not an Orphan ... I have a Father who desciplines me
I'm not Wandering helplessly and hopelessly through Life... I'm guided

His Rod and His Staff Comfort me... He uses them to ensure I reach my Destiny
