FIRE RAIN DOWN!

*Beware I may use some terms that may not attend to your spiritual beliefs but know that all is said are not my words being typed but His words. Let His words, my God Almighty's attend to your heart. Where they belong.

Recently I was at Starbucks listening to a song by Ron Downing, called "I Will Follow (Psalm 23)". At the time I have not yet listened to this song not even once! At the first sight of this song I instantly clicked on it. While waiting for the song to start and to pass the intro and the simple verses, I looked at the song name and noticed Psalm 23. When my eyes glanced over the screen on my computer towards the address of the scripture, right away I KNEW that God was calling me to read this. I laughed at myself and my thought of God wanting me to read a stupid Psalm. 

So then I got over my selfish desire of not obeying God's intention for this song for and opened up my bible. If you would turn to me to Psalm 23:1. 

During the turning of my pages of my Bible I noticed seeing a big group of young people entering in the courtyard of Starbucks. As my laptop is blaring this song as loud as possible and my bible is open right outside of a coffee shop. I was scared out of my mind! The enemy right then and there tried to attack me by making me try to lower my music volume and close my bible! But right then and there I said out loud in a faint whisper, "I cut the head off of my traitor within's head. Enemy back up! Cause I know my God wants to use this verse somehow within my life!"

Immediately as I said this I began getting the Holy Spirit goosebumps as I would say and my heart started warming! Then I read Psalm 23:1. As it reads in the NIV translation: " The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want." I read it and I kind of laughed to my self... well that's easy. Do not be in want. Cool. Then God told me to go deeper. I then looked up the words Shepherd and Want in the Hebrew Lexicon. The following were the translations of each;

Shepherd = The Hebrew word "Mishkan". This word entirely means;  a residence, also the Temple.

Want = The Hebrew word "abowy (ab-o'ee)". This word actually means; In the sense of desiring, Sorrow.

So in the sense of this scripture if we replace the word Shepherd and Want with the original Hebrew translations we get the following verse that is located in Psalm 23:1 ;

" The LORD is my RESIDENCE, I shall not be in SORROW! "

Because God is our place of resting and our "Go-to Guy" we shouldn't be sad or sorrowful whatsoever! It says it right here in David's Psalm! He states that we must not be full of sorrow therefore because our God loves us enough that we can use him as a resting place, or a place of prayer or worship! We shouldn't be sorrowful because God is God, that is all. Period.
