PSALM 23

The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not ^[a]want.
² He makes me to lie down in ^[b]green pastures;
He leads me beside the ^[c]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 ^[d]dwell in the house of the Lord
^[e]Forever.

It seems the bigger the promise, the greater the pain on the journey. The secret is believing along the way, “the Lord is my shepherd, I already have what I need.”

 

The journey of faith insists upon rest.

He lets me rest in green meadows; He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my...
