Jesus is truly the good Shepherd but is He your Shepherd? Psalm twenty-three is no doubt one of the best-loved texts in the entirety of Scripture. It describes how we can come under the Shepherds care! We are like sheep and sheep need a shepherd. It’s why we are always in need. The Lord knows, and He is close at hand in His care of us.

Today we pause to celebrate God’s greatness and glory! Trust is something we really can’t live without. We have to trust our fellow motorists to not cross the centerline and hit us.

In Psalm eighteen, the Psalmist recounts God’s great faithfulness. It’s something we come to expect from God but often our circumstances speak otherwise. When you get in a tight spot, do you always remember that God is with you? We need constant reminders, don't we?

About Al Pittman

Al was born in Panama City, Florida in 1955. His father was a career soldier, so the family traveled extensively. In 1973, when Al was seventeen years old, the family returned from a tour in Germany and settled in Colorado Springs. Soon after, Al realized God’s call on  his life and began serving in the music ministry as a bass guitarist with a Christian band  called, “The Rays of Light.” It was during this time that Al met Norma, and they were married on July 19, 1975. 

Al attended Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, graduating in 1977 with a degree in Biblical Studies. In 1991 Al and his family moved to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and two years later he joined the staff of Calvary Chapel Albuquerque as an assistant pastor and co-worship leader. In the spring of 1997 the Lord called Al and his family back to Colorado Springs to pastor Calvary Worship Center. In 2006, Al earned his Master’s degree and in 2012 he earned his Doctorate degree in Ministry from Trinity Southwest University in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Al and Norma are the proud parents of three children, Renee, Nathan and Reggie, as well as proud grandparents. They covet your prayers for their family and ministry as they endeavor to live a life pleasing to the Father.
