"I Didn't Know My Own Strength"
Maybe it was the right timing, maybe it was what I needed to hear, Jason Millers teaching on "The Tragedy of Sin - The Tension of Trust ." Jason said, "I hope you experience Psalm 23 like you have never experienced it before. That happened to me last night. Growing up Episcopalian I experienced Psalm 23 mainly at funerals. Such a beautiful scripture and all I saw in verses 1-6 were, "Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death", until last night. Now I see that I shall not want for anything, well almost anything, I want Jesus. I always knew I wanted Jesus but through Jason's teaching I realized that above all else, I want Jesus. I realized when I "want" for something that is not good for me, I really do have "the strength" to turn my feet and walk in the direction of good. True to His word He lets me catch my breath and sends me in the right direction. I am so thankful.
