-David paints the pic of God as a shepherd and host in the palace
-David paints himself as a sheep and a guest in the palace
-how did he move from a Shepard to the king.. God brought him there
-God is just like a shepherd bring the sheep to the green pastures
-if the sheep knew where the Shepard is bring them to, they will not stray away...
-whatever comes after "I am ...", God is
-a covenant with the people that He will be what we need Him will be
"My" ... There is ownership
-David had a personal relationship with God
a shepherd's job is to provide direction
-we have the personal guide living in us... The Holy Spirit is our guide!
-all the sheep needs to know is to follow the shepherd
-sheep are not one of the smartest animal
-sheep follow each other blindly
-give up control over our life
-giving up control is difficult but necessary
-David declaring his dependence on God
-we can contribute, cannot determine outcome
-only God's shoulder is broad enough to carry the burden
-if we try to carry the burdens, it will crush us
-we are responsible for the action, and God is responsible for the outcome
-we may not always understand what God is doing... Cos what we see is different from what God is
-we see mountain, but God sees beyond the mountain
-we see the corner, but God sees round the corner
-we see today, but God sees tomorrow
-God does something intentionally.. when God does nothing, God is seeing something
if we are not content with what we have now, we will not be in the future too
-one event lead to another, brought David as a Shepard in the field to the being a king in the palace
-it doesn't make sense to David till now
-the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not want
-only Lord, the others I do not want
at the back of the embroidery, it's messy with nodes... but the flip side, it's a beautiful crown
