Rock & Soul : week 1

Levi Lusko - Fresh Life Church

Upon This Rock

Psalm 23 written by David.

Rock & Soul series // Outer stability that comes from inner tranquility. 

God wants you to have a sense of stability in life.

[In regards to Psalm 23] "It is as sweet to the child as it is perplexing to the scholar." Adrian Rogers

Louie Giglio calls Psalm 23 "the soundtrack of victory."

VS 1 "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."

Everyone has a shepherd.
Your shepherd is whatever you build your life on.
_________ is my shepherd. 

1. Identity
When you know who He is, you discover who you are.
When the Lord is your shepherd you are a sheep.
Life isn't about seeking who you are, it's about finding out who Your Shepherd is.
Find your identity by seeking Him.
Lord : I am. The One who is, who was, and is to come. 
Whatever you feel like you're not, God says to you, I am!
What you're not, He is! What you can't, He can!

2. Ownership
We are owned by Him.
Sheep don't have a leader, they have an owner.
Sheep are property. 
God purchased me by the blood of the cross.
Because we belong to Him, we always belong with Him.
We are never a burden to Jesus.
God has a vested interest in us because we are a purchased property.

3. Contentment
There is such power in contentment.
There is such power in knowing God is our full supply.
It doesn't mean you'll always have what you want.
It doesn't mean you'll want what you have.
What it does mean is you have what you need.
A blessing becomes a burden when you get it out of season.
In God's good timing, He'll provide.
If you have a burden that you don't want, God wants to redeem it.

I will have no want! God's going to take care of me!
Hebrews 13:6 "The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?"
