A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
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 overflows.
6 Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
Tommy's Thoughts:
Sometime, we tends to overlook the importance of God’s hope and promises in the Bible by being too familiar with them, especially Psalm 23. As I read through this Psalm prayerfully yesterday, I knew God was speaking to me when I’ve prayed for His guidance and wisdom. Specifically, I prayed to Him to let me see the things I’m going through at a new light. Now, I realized how profound and powerful this Psalm is. I can say it encapsulates the entire outlook of life a Christian should have. It assures us that God will always be at our side through everything in life.
He will continue to teach and protect us like a shepherd and he will provide everything we need. Whenever I’m filled with fear, He’s there with me to comfort me and keep me bold. And the last verse has totally changed me 360 degree as a Christian; believe me! It has removed all the uncertainties and doubts I had in my life. God promised to fill every single days of my life with goodness and love if I would truly obey and follow Him. Lord, thank you so much so much, I just want to praise and lift Your name up high!
"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart. You will not fear the terror of night, nor the arrow that flies by day" - Psalm 91:4-5
