Day 5: Psalm
23:1-6
The Lord is my
shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie
down in green pastures; he leads me beside quite 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 mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever.
Protection. That is the overall theme I see in Psalm 23
these days.
God watches
out for me in the same way as a shepherd does for his flock. He protects me and provides for my
needs. He heals me, both physically and
emotionally. He brings my soul back to
life.
No matter
the attack, I know God has my back. I’ve
seen it so many times before. Not only
does he protect me, be he provides for me in the presence of my enemies.
As if that
weren’t enough, he has promised me a home in his Kingdom forever and ever.
**I know
there isn’t much here, but I feel like this passage really speaks for
itself. When I am scared or overwhelmed
this is what I remember. **
