Psalms 23
Dear Brethren,
Good Morning!
"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want." begins a psalm heard by children and adults alike in many churches throughout the world. It is a passage which people memorize and then recite in times of great loss. However, when was the last time you and I took a long look at Psalms 23, beyond simple memorization?
While it is true that a person cannot live his life without problems, it is possible for that person to keep his worries and concerns in proper perspective. If you are like me, then there have been times when you have found yourself worrying about people or events overwhich you have no control. At these times you and I need to remember to continue relying upon the Lord. David wrote, "He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside the still waters." Consider the tranquility and peace of mind illustrated by this metaphor. This is what the Lord can do for you and I if we will always rely upon Him and trust in Him.
As you have time today, give consideration to each verse of Psalms 23. Let the assurance and comfort experienced by David exist within your life. Trust in the Lord. Here is Psalms 23 presented for your consideration.
Psalms 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
3 He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.
In Love,
John Duvall
