Today for Spiritual Sundays I decided to post this unique perspective on the 23rd Psalm.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 mine enemies = That's Hope!
Thou annointest 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!
Face it, the Lord is crazy about you.
Note from me: Let's face it, doesn't that cover it all. What blessed assurance. That reminds me of the old hymn "Blessed Assurance".
That is awesome! I am going to remember this ( or should I say save it) So I can give this to someone someday.

This is a unique view of the 23rd Psalm. This is my favorite Psalm and I have read that it is the favorite of many others also.
ReplyDeleteI like your post, too. I heard someone say once that the 23rd psalm encompassed all we need to know about our relationship with God. The way you have presented it, I guess they are right.
ReplyDeleteI need to copy this and paste it inside the front of my Bible. Good stuff!

ReplyDeleteI love that! It encompasses anything and Everything about Who the Lord is!

I like this. One of my favorite books is "A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23" by Phillip Keller, I've read it several times, and my prayer group did a weekly study with it.

A beautiful passage and a great perspective, Charlotte. Max Lucado's book "Traveling Light" is all about the 23rd Psalm - a wonderful book.
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday...Kathy
And I'm "crazy" about HIM!! (just ask my husband.)
