“The
Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.”
Psalm 23:1
The Lord is my shepherd.
I will never lack anything I need.
In Him I find rest, satisfied and secure in His lush
goodness. In Him I am refreshed as my
desires are fulfilled by His purity and perfection—not with the stagnant or toxic
reservoirs of this world. In Him I am
restored, for each time I fall, He gently picks me up, brushes me off, and sets
me back on my feet.
Every moment of the day He leads me along the path that is
best for me and brings Him glory. Even as
I travel through life’s deep, dark valleys, I am never alone. Tears may fall from anguish and grief but
never from being abandoned or forgotten.
The rod of His Word comforts and corrects me. The staff of His Spirit connects and counsels
me. He keeps me close, and I know all will
be okay.
He goes before me and gets the future ready. Those who want to bring me down see His
preparation and power, and they stay away when He is near. He coats me with the oil of His presence, for
His love, joy, peace, and patience help repel irritation and reduce confrontation.
Just as a cup spills out when filled beyond its brim, my
heart overflows with the Lord’s abundant blessings. Each day of this life, I can leave behind His
goodness and love everywhere I go, and in the next, His home will be my permanent
address—forever.
