The LORD is my Shepherd I shall not Want

John 10 is one of my favorite passages from the Bible. I just heard a wonderful sermon about the blessings of being a sheep and since it was very encouraging to me, I’ll share it with you. :) Jesus says that, “When he [the Good Shepherd] has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.” (John 10:4) Here are four blessings of being a sheep:

1. We are placed by God.

2. We are protected by Him.

3. We have a path to follow.

4. We have the blessing of a Partner.

As I’m praying for the summer I find a huge encouragement in these truths. It’s so wonderful to know that God has a plan for me, and all I need to do is to follow. After listening to this message and giving all my questions back to God, I received the wonderful news that I have enough money on my account to by the plane tickets!!! Isn’t that wonderful? The Lord is so faithful! Please keep praying with me for the missing amount for my tuition and insurance. This will be around $1300. I'm praying with expectations and I trust God He will provide!!!

About the title

The Greek word entheos, means "having God within", formed from en, "in, within," and theos, "God". The Almighty God lives in us through His Holy Spirit (John 14:17). Entheos is the root of the English word "enthusiasm". I believe from my whole heart that God is boundlessly enthusiastic. My favourite author, A.W. Tozer says, that "God takes pleasure in Himself and rejoices in His own perfection”. He is also delighted with His whole creation, and yes, He is especially delighted with people made in His image.

I want God to be my Passion. I want to be a joyful Christian who finds her total satisfaction in Him alone. Nothing and no one else is necessary to my happiness. He is the One I live for. Getting to know Him day by day gives me thousands of reasons to be enthusiastic about. And my greatest desire is to please Him as I’m rejoicing in the One who lives in me. Do they see Jesus in me???

About the blog

This blog is an attempt to keep you informed about “my adventures” in the USA. The reason I’m going to America is the same as in the previous years - to bring glory to God! He is the One Who made all this possible and I want to bring Him to every person I’ll meet. I’ll consider this trip successful if they will all see Jesus in me! I know, you don’t need to go all the way to the other end of the world to be a witness for the Lord. :) My secondary reasons for this trip are to do a Biblical Counseling course at Faith Bible Seminary (Lafayette, IN) and to raise support for our ministry at Word of Life Hungary (www.eletszava.org). I can't wait to see how the Lord will bless me once again. You can join me in watching as God miraculously puts together all the details of this tour. May it all be done for His glory!
