PONDERING SHADOWS
Friday, July 10, 2020
One morning I
awoke with one word on my mind from 23rd Psalm; shadow. Why?
Couldn’t say immediately, but since it wouldn’t disappear I decided to check it
out in KJV using concordance in e-Sword program.
Reading all 71
KJV verses containing “shadow” is quite the expansive provocative spiritual
exercise; one facet being reminded of how large the outline of God’s Word is in
my life.
I know many of
you are busier than this old retiree, but I encourage you to work thru the
verses and be blessed in seeing what light the Lord gives you. EBB4
