GOD IS GOOD ALL THE TIME
AND ALL THE TIME GOD IS GOOD
AND I NEED TO TELL YOU FAMILY
ESPECIALLY IN TIMES LIKE THIS
BECAUSE HE`S STILL SITTING HIGH AND LOOKING LOW
LOOKING BEYOND OUR FAULTS BUT SUPPLYING OUR EVERY NEED
AND WE THANK GOD FOR THE LIFE OF BRO/SIS _____________
AND WE ARE GATHERED HERE TODAY TO CELEBRATE HIS/HER LIFE
AND IF THE LORD CONTINUES TO TARRY
ONE DAY WE TO MUST GO THIS WAY TO
BUT I NEED TO PAUSE AND ASK YOU A QUESTION
WHILE THE BLOOD IS STILL RUNNING THRU YOUR VEINS
IS YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER
AND Since death is unavoidable, we all need to be prepared
FOR IF THE LORD CONTINUES TO TARRY
WE ALL HAVE A DIVINE APPOINTMENT
FOR THE HEBREW WRITER LET`S US KNOW IN
Hebrews 9:27 (KJV) And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
AND WHEN THAT APPOINTMENT COME WE ALL NEED TO KNOW JESUS AS LORD AND SAVIOR OF OUR LIVES
AND IF THERE ANY ONE HEAR UNDER THE SOUND OF MY WEAK VOICE
THAT DON`T KNOW HIM AS LORD AND SAVIOR
I NEED TO TELL YOU TODAY IS A GOOD DAY
TO INVITE HIM INTO YOUR LIFE
**********************************
BUT THERE IS A WORD FROM THE LORD
THAT I WANT TO LIFT UP TO ENCOURAGE THE FAMILY TODAY
I WOULD LIKE TO INVITE YOUR ATTENTION
TO THE 1ST DIVISION OF PSALMS THE 23RD NUMBER -(ver-1)
THERE YOU WILL FIND THESES WORDS
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD I SHALL NOT WANT
VERY BRIEFLY I WANT TO REASON WITH THOUGHT
( THE LORD IS )
MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THE 23RD # OF PSALM IS A RARE AND PRICELESS
JEWEL WITHIN THE TREASURY OF GOD`S ENTERNAL WORD
FOR MANY HAVE ALLOWED IT TO
CHANGE THERE LIVES
HEAL THERE HURTS AS WELL BLESS THERE SOUL
IT`S A PSALMS THAT HAS PROVIDED
HOPE FOR A GRIEF STRICKEN HEARTS
AS WELL COMFORT TO THOSE WHO ARE IN BREAVEMENT
TO SOME THE IT`S KNOWN AS A BOX OF HANDKERCHEIFS
BECAUSE IT HAS A WAY OF DRYING TEARS
FROM TEAR STAIN EYES
TO OTHERS IT`S KNOWN AS A HEAD LIFTER
BECAUSE IT HAS AWAY OF MAKING YOU LIFT YOUR EYES UNTO THE HILLS
FROM WHENCE COMETH YOUR HELP
AND YOUR HELP IN TIMES LIKE THESES
COMES FROM THE LORD
AND THEN TO OTHERS IT`S KNOWN AS A IN-HOUSE SURGEON
BECAUSE THE 23RD # OF PSALMS
HAS A WAY OF
MENDING BROKEN HEARTS AND EASING TROUBLED MINDS
AND TO GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING
OF THE 23RD NO. OF PSALMS
YOU 1ST HAVE TO EXAMINE THE 22ND AND THE 24TH # OF PSALMS
BECAUSE THE 22ND -23RD -24TH #`S IS A TRIOLGY OF PSALMS
THAT WORK HAND IN HAND
CAN I BORROW A SKINNY MINUTE AND TELL YOU WHAT I`M TALKING ABOUT
YOU SEE MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS
THE 22ND # TELLS US ABOUT JESUS THE GOOD SHEPHERD WHO DIED FOR THE SHEEPS
THE 23RD # TELLS US ABOUT JESUS THE GREAT SHEPHERD WHO PROVIDES PROTECTS AND CARES FOR THE SHEEPS
AND THE 24TH # TELLS US ABOUT JESUS THE CHIEF SHEPHERD WHO IS COMING BACK FOR THE SHEEPS
IN OTHER WORDS
22ND CHRIST DIED FOR US (PAST)
23RD CHRIST LIVES AND ACCENDED TO THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER (PRESENT)
24TH CHRIST COMING BACK FOR US (FUTURE)
IN OTHER WORDS
IN THE 22ND THE PSALMIST PAINTS A PICTURE OF MT CALVARY
IN THE 23RD HE PAINTS A PICTURE OF A VALLEY
AND IN THE 24TH GIVES US A GLIMPSE OF OUR GLORIOUS FUTURE IN MT ZION
IN THE TEXT BEFORE US
DAVID REALIZES THAT HE GOT MORE DAYS BEHIND HIM THAN BEFORE HIM
AND HE TAKES A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE AND REFLECTS BACK ON HOW GOOD THE LORD HAD BEEN TO HIM DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS
AND FAMILY - IF YOU WOULD TAKE A TRIP
DOWN MEMORY LANE WITH ME
AND REFLECT BACK AND REMEMBER
HOW GOD HAS BEEN A BRIDGE OVER TROUBLE WATER
HOW HE MADE AWAY OUT OF NO WAY
HOW HE`S BEEN A LEANING POST YOU CAN LEAN ON
A PILLOW YOU CAN CRY ON
AND HOW HE TURN YOUR STUMBLING BLOCKS INTO STEPPING STONES
AND IN TIME LIKE THIS YOU NEED
TO REMEMBER THAT THE
LORD IS
HE`S THE SAME YESTERDAY `TODAY AND FOREVERMORE
BUT AS WE EXAMINE VERSE 1 IN THE TEXT DAVID REVEALS TO US 3 THINGS
WELL THE 1ST THING DAVID REVEALS IS THAT
HE KNOWS THE LORD
FOR HE SAYS THE LORD IS
AND DURING TIMES LIKE THESE FAMILY
IT`S JUST GOOD TO KNOW THE LORD
YOU SEE YOU MAY KNOW HIM AS ONE THING
AND I MIGHT KNOW HIM AS ANOTHER
BUT IT`S JUST GOOD TO KNOW THE LORD
YOU SEE ABEL KNEW HIM AS HIS VINDINCATOR
NOAH KNEW AS HIS ARK
JACOB KNEW HIM AS HIS SHILOH
MOSES KNEW HIM AS AN ENGINEER WHO PUT THE WIND IN A FULL NELSON AND MADE A FREEWAY DOWN THE RED SEA
THE HEBREW BOYS KNEW HIM AS A FIRE FIGHTER WHO TOOK THE HEAT OUT OF THE FLAMES AND TURN THE BURNING FURNACE INTO A FELLOWSHIP HALL
DANIEL KNEW HIM AS A LION TAMER WHO PUT WILD LIONS ON A 24 HOUR FAST WHILE HE WAS IN THE LIONS DEN
SAMSON KNEW AS HIS STRENGHT
GIDEON KNEW HIM AS HIS FLEECE
SOLOMON KNEW HIM AS HIS WISDOM
JOB KNEW HIM AS A HORSE PAWING IN THE VALLEY
EZEKIEL KNEW HIM AS A WHEEL IN THE MIDDLE OF A WHEEL
BUT DAVID KNEW HIM AS THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
YOU MAY KNOW HIM AS ONE THING AND I MAY KNOW HIM AS ANOTHER
BUT IN TIMES LIKE THESE
IT`S JUST GOOD TO KNOW THE LORD
*************************************
WELL NOT ONLY DOES DAVID REVEALS THAT HE KNOWS THE LORD
BUT HE ALSO REVEALS THAT HE HAS A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD
FOR HE SAYS THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
AND IN TIMES LIKE THESE IT`S JUST GOOD TO HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD
BECAUSE IF THE TRUTH BE TOLD
FAMILY AND FRIENDS CAN ONLY GO SO FAR
BUT I WONDER IS THERE ANYBOBY HERE WHO
IS WILLING TO RAISE YOUR HAND AND TESTIFY
THAT THE LORD WILL GO WITH YOU ALL THE WAY
IN OTHER WORDS WANT HE BE
A BURDEN BEARER
HEAVY LOAD CARRIER
HEART FIXER & A MIND REGULATOR
A COMPANY KEEPER IN YOUR LONELY HOUR
THE LORD WILL GO WITH YOU ALL THE WAY
**************************************
WELL NOT ONLY DOES DAVID REVEALS THAT HE KNOWS THE LORD
AND THAT HE HAS A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD
BUT BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE LORD AND HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD
I HEAR DAVID SAYING –I SHALL NOT WANT
WHAT YOU SAYING DAVID
TELL THEM WHATEVER THEY NEED GOD GOT IT
I KNOW HE`S ALRIGHT
BECAUSE ONE DAY WE WAS ALL LOST ON
OUR WAY TO A DEVILS HELL WITH NO GOD
ON OUR SIDE
BUT GOD USED THE SAME
THING THAT GOT
US INTO THIS MESS
A MAN NAME ADAM
A WOMAN NAME EVE
AND A TREE CALL GOOD AND EVIL
AND HE USE THE SAME THING TO GET US
OUT OF THE MESS
HE USE A WOMAN NAME MARY
SON OF MAN NAME JESUS
AND A CROSS ON CALVARYS MOUNTIAN
ANYBODY HERE KNOW ABOUT CALVARYS MOUNTIAN
