Psalm 23: 1-6 The LORD is my shepherd ; I shall not want .
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies : thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever .
(this is KJV, the one I memorized....)
This past Sunday our pastor challenged us to re-write Psalm 23 in our own words how we relate to God....here is mine.
Even though I usually forget, God provides all I need.
He helps me to rest in Him, and gives me undeniable peace.
He completes me; His paths, although not mine, will be just.
When I am on my knees wondering how life got this way; I will continually trust in Him, because He is with me and will always take care of me.
You are above all those who do not think much of me. You treat me like a princess; and I am blessed.
Even when things seem bad, Your grace and mercy are abundant, and until I can be in Heaven sitting at your feet, I will keep on keeping on here on earth.
