Psalm 23 is a childhood favorite of mine. A reminder that I’m never alone; I’m provided for and taken care of…always. It comes to mind occasionally and this week, it kept coming up for me, so here ’tis for all.
The Lord is My Shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul. He leads me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
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.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Psalm 23 continues to be a prayer, a meditative piece and a source of reassurance for me.
I believe these words carry so much value for me because they speak comfort, peace, protection, favor and healing.
Which Scriptures, songs, poems bring you comfort and encouragement?
May I suggest that we meditate on one daily and memorize one a week?
Common Day Hero: Your devotion to the “least of these” is inspiring. Your heart for equality and equity for all is such a gift. I look forward to seeing and hugging you again…air hugs for now and I dedicate this post to you, SusannaT.
