Grazing in the Shepherd's Pasture

God prepares a table for me and he sends all his sparrows to invite me to sit and dine.

At first I was a bit out of sorts about God’s extra tender love for the sparrows; I almost wish and prayed for God to transform me to one of those sparrows if that is what it took to get my fair share of his milk and honey. I suppose that is why God chose the sparrows to serenade me; it was to encourage me and not to taunt me. Once I figured that part out, understanding clapped in unison with Wisdom and I began to enjoy a new felt sense of what David meant when he wrote Psalm 23.

Personalizing the messages of scripture is one way that God adds new meaning to my daily business of living and I intend to keep up with my interviews and dialogues with God; subsequently, I will know my highest purpose as God intends.
