A NEW LOOK AT PSALM 23~
The Lord is my Shepherd -That's Relationship
I shall not want -That's Supply (I'm lacking in nothing!)
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures -That's Rest (yep, He "maketh's" you)
He leadeth me beside the still waters -That's Refreshment
He restoreth my soul -That's Healing (soul: our thinker/feeler/chooser where He renews our mind!)
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness -That's Guidance (HE leads, not me! That's freedom!)
For His name's sake -That's Purpose (for HIS glory!)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death -That's Testing(-that we may KNOW Him!)
I will fear no evil -That's Protection
For Thou art with me -That's Faithfulness
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies -That's Hope
Thou anointest my head with oil -That's Consecration (He has called us HIS- set apart and holy!)
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!
He is ALL we need!
