Our text should be at the beginning of every "foundations course" in our churches. "It is like a person building a house who digs deep and lays the foundation on solid rock."
This is glorious "Pastoral Care" from our, "Good Shepherd"/Pastor, Jesus Christ. If Jesus' Words, "sink deep into [my] heart first," whatever occurs next will be, "He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His Name's sake."
Father, in Jesus' Name, in the Holy Spirit I pray for this text to be my Reality. Amen.
