My Shepherd is Johovah-Shalom, the God of Peace

I use 30 Days of Praying the Names and Attributes of God from the Navigators to frame my morning prayers.  Do you know what yesterday's name of God was?  Jehovah-shalom, the God of Peace!  How perfect is that?  We are in the wake of election results exposing a divided nation.  The Covid-19 wave two is cresting.  My school started a new schedule today.  Now that's a lot to worry about!  I love meditating on my shepard being Jehovah-shalom, the God of Peace. 

Know that the Lord is God.  It is he who made us, we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.  Psalm 100:3

Know that God is still on the throne in the midst of these troubled times.  We are His; we belong to Him.  He is our gentle shepherd.  We are His sheep.  It is not a promise to be free of trial and trouble.  The wolf and lion still crave mutton, but the Shepherd's rod and staff protect us.  The fly still bites, but He applies healing oil to our heads.  Remember who your Shepherd is!
