Have
you ever passed over the familiar, not giving your full attention because of
the familiarity? This week the Lord brought me to the familiar 23rd
Psalm. I meditated on the richness of these beautiful, meaningful verses of
scripture.
The LORD is my
shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me
lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my
soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Even 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 overflows. Surely goodness and love will
follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
The
LORD leads us, guides us, protects us, comforts us, provides for us, and loves
us…could we want anything else?
I’m
so glad He gave me pause to listen to His voice in this dear, familiar passage.
