Psalm 23

EXPLAINED

 

This is an eye opener... Some probably never thought nor looked at this  Psalm in this way... even though they say 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 my enemies.

That's Hope!

 

 

 

 

Thou anointest 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!

 

 

 

 

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord.

 That's Security! 

Forever That's Eternity

 

 

 

The Psalmist understood that God thought he cared for him in special ways, and he wrote this song of praise to God for this truth.

 

You and I are very special to God, too!!!

What is most valuable is not what we have in our lives,

but

WHOM

we have in our lives .
