Familiar, but Powerful!

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. - Psalm 23:1-6

Sometimes we run by these words so fast they don't have time to absorb into our spirit. In this Psalm God is our shepherd, provider, rest, restorer, comfort, peacemaker, anointing, and father of discipline. We see that goodness and love will follow us all the days of our life on earth and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. How can you lose with a God that promises to be all those things for you. Embrace God and the fullness He has for your life. Take time today to enjoy the definition of who God is to you through Psalm 23.

Blessings,
