The Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not want
He maketh me to lie in green pastures
He leadeth me beside still waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me
In the path of righteousness for His name sakes
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil for thou art with me
Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil, my cup runneth 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 in m opinion speaks much about not only the character of God, but of faith and hope. This psalm is the one I am trying to meditate on this morning. It just came to mind and it was as if someone was speaking those words to me. I wonder what the Lord is trying to telling me something. What do you believe that God is trying to tell me? To me it is about faith and not doubt and not to worry or be anxious.

Lik3, there is no need to worry because the Good Shepherd has our backs.

I love the amplified translation of this Psalm 23:

Psalm 23:1-6 AMP
THE LORD is my Shepherd to feed, guide, and shield me, I shall not lack. [2] He makes me lie down in fresh, tender green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters. [3] He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him--not for my earning it, but] for His name's sake. [4] Yes, though I walk through the deep, sunless valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod to protect and Your staff to guide, they comfort me. [5] You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my brimming cup runs over. [6] Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord and His presence shall be my dwelling place.
