PSALM 23

[1watchman]

This is very good meditation:

The 23rd Psalm
[In application for our present day]​

This is an eye-opener; and some souls probably never thought nor looked at this Old Testament Psalm in this way, even though they may quote it over and over again:

The Lord is my Shepherd ---that's relationship;

I shall not want ---that's supply;

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures ---that's rest;

He leadeth me beside the still waters ---that's refreshment;

He restoreth my soul ---that's healing;

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness ---that's guidance;

For His name sake ---that's purpose;

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death ---that's testing;

I will fear no evil ---that's protection;

For Thou art with me ---that's faithfulness;

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me ---that's discipline;

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies ---that's hope;

Thou annointest my head with oil ---that's consecration;

My cup runneth over ---that's abundance;

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life ---that's blessing;

I will dwell in the house of the Lord ---that's security;

Forever ---that's eternity.

Interesting correlation but the psalmist said it in a much more memorable way.
