“I will live in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23:6b, NLT)
“Here is a sheep so utterly satisfied with its lot in life, so fully contented with the care it receives, so much “at home: with the shepherd that there is not a shred of desire for a change.”
(from A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by Phillip Keller, page 136)
As we live our days in the care of our Shepherd, a relationship develops that brings both us (the sheep) and the Shepherd such joy neither would desire to leave the company of the other.
Fully content and at peace, we can look back over the years in His care and recognize how perfect His care, provision, and protection has been over our lives.
On the subject of a successful Christian walk, Phillip Keller sums it up in one sentence so beautifully:
“Live ever aware of God’s presence.”

Joanne,
I wanted to finish reading your post, but the click HERE link was not working or not set up? Maybe it’s just me, but I wanted to let you know so that others can follow over to W2W to finish reading.
Advent blessings,

Thank you for letting me know! Some days require a second or third cup of coffee 🙂 I put the link in now. I so appreciate you letting me know! Blessings!
And some seasons require extra coffee! Or a steaming mug of tea. And this is one of them!
