Last Week in Chapel

Last week in Chapel Pastor Kami taught us how we are honored and blessed because we belong to the Lord. After hearing the Bible story of the prophet Samuel anointing David as the next king of Israel, we looked at Psalm 23:5, “You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.” We learned what our Bible verse meant line by line. 

When we are in the midst of a battle with our enemy (satan) or going through a really hard time, we can cry out the Lord, our Good Shepherd, and He lets us know that He will fight for us. We learned how God honors us when we follow Him. He looks at us and says, “This is My son. This is My daughter. I have chosen him/her. I have a plan for them. They follow Me. They are precious to Me. I want everyone to know that I have set them apart for something special.” And lastly we talked about how God blesses us with an overflowing cup of His goodness and mercy. His blessings are not just once in a while, but continuous as we follow Him - like His peace, comfort, healing, joy, and His presence. 

Next week we will finish this chapel series on the 23rd Psalm. Hopefully your son/daughter will be able to tell you what the whole chapter says and how Jesus is our Good Shepherd.
