Psalm 23:
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
The Lord is capable of taking care of my needs. He is the Shepherd, and I am the sheep. He will take care of (me) His sheep.
“He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.”
The Lord has the best intentions. He put me in the right, perfect place. I have the Right Placement.
“He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”
I am at rest. There is Peace because God is in control.
“Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.”
I know I might have troubles, and there might be problems all around, but I am confident that God will not leave me nor abandon me.
“You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.”
Do I need to worry about what other people think about me or my status?
I’d rather quake for lack of God’s presence in my life than the presence of a man with contempt.
“Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the LORD forever.”
God’s blessings come to me naturally every day of my life. His blessings follow me.
Yes, it follows me.
Amen!
