Psalm 23 is a familiar one to many of us... I know that long before I really started my journey in the Word, I knew some of its culturally familiar phrases. This morning, however, I've read it again and it has struck me anew. He has struck me anew. Rather than my usual format, I'm going to simply paste the Psalm here. I encourage you to read it aloud, perhaps several times, as I will this morning. Let it minister to your heart. There is a word here for you today; I feel sure of it.
This world we live in is the valley of the shadow of death... He is beside us, and leading us and restoring us both.
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil , for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23 (NASB)
He is my comforter. He is THE Comforter. We are anointed by His oil. Friends, truly, our cups overflow. Goodness and lovingkindness do follow us - each and every day. We dwell in His house; we dwell in Him. Forever. Lord, I praise Your holy name. Thank You. Thank You!
