PSALM 23
King James Version
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me
beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
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.
Some of the greatest words in all human literature. Recognized by all religions and philosophies Psalm 23 is memorized by children around the planet and relied upon throughout their lives. It echoes through hospitals, government offices, refugee camps and prisons throughout the world.
As many of us know there is Just something healing and restorative in these words. It speaks to universal human needs and brings rest and refreshment.
Join me this Sunday at 10:30 am online as we dive into the exhilaration of the 23rd Psalm.
Your friend for the rest of my life,
