The Spoken Word “Nothing Less!” Psalm 23:5-6 (MSG) Ms. Wendi Peterson Sermon Notes Key Scriptures:   Jeremiah 29:11 – This is God's Word on the subject: As soon as Babylon's 70 years are up and not a day before, I'll show up and take care of you as I promised and bring you back home. I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out--plans to take care of you, not to abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. Isaiah 43:2 – When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you. When you're in rough waters, you will not go down. When you're between a rock and a hard place, it won't be a dead end — because I am God, your personal God, The Holy of Israel, your Savior. Isaiah 43:19 – See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? John 14:8 – If God is all you have, you have all you need. Psalm 23:5-6 – You serve me a six-course dinner right in front of my enemies. You revive my drooping head; my cup brims with blessing. Your beauty and love chase after me every day of my life. I’m back home in the house of God for the rest of my life.
