Psalm 23 (The Living Bible)
(1) “Because the Lord is my shepherd I have everything I need.” Even when I may think I need more.
(2) “He lets me rest in the meadow grass and leads me beside the quiet streams.” When I feel stressed He calls me to find rest. I become the baby lamb I have seen resting in the crook of His arm.
(3) “He restores my failing health.” I trust Him as my great physician.
(4) “He helps me to do what honors Him the most.” Especially when I want to do what honors me the most.
(5) “Even when walking through the dark valley of death I will not be afraid for you are close beside me guarding, guiding all the way.” You never leave us or forsake us. You are with us in the most alone experiences of birth and death.
(6) “You provide delicious food for me…you have welcomed me as your guest; blessings overflow.” I accept your gracious hospitality and praise the overflowing of good things.
(7) “Your goodness and unfailing kindness shall be with me all of my life and afterward I will live with you forever in your house.” What more could I need forever?
