HOW TO LIVE AS A PILGRIM
When God called Abraham and promised him a land for an inheritance, the Lord led Israel all through the wilderness to the promised Land. Genesis 13:14-15, Exodus 40:34-38, Psalm 105:11, Isaiah 48:21. Those that trusted the lord as their shepherd entered into the promised Land.
The promised kingdom of God to those that are born again can not be accessed by man's way.
Jeremiah 10:23b"...... it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps".
Proverbs 14:12, Isaiah 48:17
Jesus referred to those that will believe in him as a sheep. John 21:16-17
A sheep without a sherpherd is prone to wandering. No matter how old a sheep is, it can not lead itself to its destination through the wilderness. Ecclesiastes 10:15
King David was a sherpherd boy who later became a warrior and a great King. He knew the roles of a good sherpherd to the sheep, warriors and kings to their subjects.
Jesus the good shepherd knows the way to heaven, he knows His sheep by their name, He loves, defends, guides, feeds and die for the sheep, which a warrior or a King cannot do.
Psalm 23:1-6"The Lord is my sherpherd....
The Lord can not be your sherpherd when you don't see yourself as a sheep. If you respond to his guide, protection, provision and everything He makes available to you as a sheep, you will never miss your place in eternity in God's promised kingdom, the land of the living.
TO LIVE AS A PILGRIM, YOU MUST HAVE THE GOOD SHERPHERD, LORD JESUS CHRIST AS THE SHERPHERD OF YOUR HEART. Listen to His voice, The Bible
