keen awareness.
in the Christian's life there is no substitute
for the keen awareness that my Shepherd is nearby.
there is nothing like Christ's presence
to dispel the fear, the panic, the terror of the unknown.
we live a most uncertain life.
any hour can bring disaster, danger
and distress from unknown quarters . . .
then in the midst of our misfortunes
there suddenly comes the awareness that He,
the Christ, the Good Shepherd is there.
it makes all the difference.
His presence in the picture
throws a different light on the whole scene.
suddenly things are not half so black nor nearly terrifying.
the outlook changes and there is hope . . .
it is the knowledge that my Master, my Friend, my Owner
has things under control even when they may appear calamitous.
this gives me great consolation, repose and rest.
