Yesterday we heard of the many miracles done by Elisha, supplying water for three armies on their way to Moab for war, helping the widow of a prophet, blessing the woman from Shunem, purifying Jericho's water, and supplying food during a famine.

The first verse of this psalm is one that our family has sung for years. Gale and I learned the song that we sing from a tape from a Canadian church called St. Margarets, a place we have never been to. That was when we were in Papua New Guinea around 1977, when David was two. Those who trust in the Lord are secure!

Reminding us of what we heard in John 10: Our Shepherd calls us by name. He knows us thoroughly, just like He and the Father know each other. He goes before us and leads us into a rich and satisfying life. He is our great and good Shepherd because He was willing to sacrifice his life for us. Thanks to Tabea Saint Lewis for helping me read this portion today.
Translation notes:
5So although Jesus loved Martha, [and loved] Mary, and [loved] Lazarus,
26Everyone who [0//lives in me and] believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”
Woah! I am surprised that, apparently, the NLT translators didn’t think that just believing was enough! I don’t see any textual variant that would lead to this addition in the translation.
31When the people who were at the house consoling Mary saw her leave so hastily, they assumed she was going to Lazarus’s grave to weep [there]. So they followed her [0/there].
38Jesus was still [upset//angry] as he arrived at the tomb, a cave with a stone rolled across its entrance.
