“Seven Words: Simple, Powerful, Renewing Words in Grace Alone”
The King of Love My Shepherd Is
Baker
The King of love my shepherd is
Whose goodness faileth never
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine forever
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never
Good Shepherd may I sing thy praise
Within thy house forever
“Jesus said, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.””
“Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in Paradise.””
“When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, “Woman, behold your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Behold, your mother.” From that hour, the disciple took her into his own home.”
“And about three o’clock Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” that is, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?””
“After this, when Jesus knew that all was now finished, he said (in order to fulfill the scriptures), “I thirst.””
“When Jesus had received the wine, he said, “It is finished.” Then he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.”
“Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.” Having said this, he breathed his last.”
In this world of ours, it is not always easy to focus 100% on others, even loved ones, when they are talking to us. We miss so much of what others are telling us and saying to us, yes, even those we love most.
Take time this week to listen to the Lord of your life. Listen 100% to all your Savior is saying to you and the world, even from the cross. If you are distracted, if you find yourself torn this week by many demands, if voice upon voice seems to be speaking to you in the details of this week; quietly, patiently, completely, listen 100%, and be blessed for life, life here and now, and life eternal. Speak the simple power and grace of these seven words: The King Of Love, My Shepherd Is!
Let us pray: Lord, I long to be finished listening to other voices, and to begin anew, listening alone to your voice. Send your Holy Spirit to me, as my Holy Week journey continues, that I may listen to Your Seven Last Words, that I would begin to listen 100% in a new and complete way to all you are saying to me in the power and grace of your crucifixion and resurrection. In your name, I listen to your grace alone, 100%, and I pray. Amen.
