你的杖，你的竿，都安慰我。
诗篇 2:7-9；诗篇 23:4b

0910 JESUS is the ROD
JESUS is the ROD. In ancient Israel the rod was a stick used for punishing, writing, fighting, ruling, walking, and guiding. JESUS says…
The rod of My Presence is used on you because I love you too much to allow you to go your own way. At the time My discipline seems hard, but you can learn to let it guide and comfort you.

“I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, ‘Thou art My Son, Today I have begotten Thee.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron, thou shalt shatter them like earthenware.’”
“Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me.”
Psalms 2:7-9; Psalms 23:4b
