God's Rest Daily Prayer Devotional He Anoints My Head With Oil

He Anoints My Head With Oil

Psalm 23:5

Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Sheep have such long noses, "Did you know they cannot

see far distance in front of them?" Sheep were created

to have long noses so they will learn to rely only upon

The Good Shepherd.  At the same way, "Sheep cannot

clean their own ears out or comb their own hair."

Field gnats lodge in the wool between the ears and

the sheep cannot clean their own ears.

That is why "Every sheep needs a Great Shepherd who

is Jesus." Here, we are told it is "Jesus who Anoints

our head with Oil." Beloved, "Did you know that Oil

is God's Rest?"

Here, Jesus is the Great Shepherd because "He gives direct supply to the Father's Rest when we are worried about our circumstances; worried about where the money Is going to come for that bill to be paid off; worried about a wayward son; a wayward daughter; worried about a healing needed in our body."

As we cast our cares upon the Lord, and leave them there, "He will Anoint our head with God's Rest." Not only will He Anoint our head with God's Rest over every concern but He will lead us into places of stillness and righteousness.

So, here is a secret to prayer. That secret is, "When you take and receive God's Rest through your Great Shepherd and bask In it--you are being set up by Jesus in stillness and quietness because Your answer is on the way!"

Now, that is Good News!

Let's Turn Our Hymnals to:

The Lord is My Shepherd

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want;

He makes me down to lie

In pastures green; He leadeth me

The quiet waters by.

My soul He doth restore again,

And me to walk doth make

Within the paths of righteousness,

E’en for His own name’s sake.

Confession: Father, thank You that You already know I can't see far enough

down the road, or clean my own ears and you gave me a Good Shepherd in Jesus.

Praise You that He will Anoint my thoughts with Your Rest; Anoint My

cares with Your Rest; Anoint my worries with Your Rest. When I acknowledge

Your Rest Jesus will move me into a new place in my heart of stillness --and,

when that moment comes I have assurance my answer is on the Way. I choose

Your Oil and Rest today. In Jesus name.
