Psalm 23

I bet you know this one by heart. I do. I did. I always will, but do you get it? That's what happened last night. This "road trip" that I'm on is causing me to slow down and look at what I know in a new and fresh way. I do know that I make a great sheep, I'm not the smartest creature but I have learned my shepherd's voice. So take your time and read it through slowly one verse at a time and just meditate. He is all I need. He leads me through the good and bad. He doesn't promise that I won't experience discomfort or pain but that he will provide for my needs through it all. I desire to honor His name and I desperately want Him to pursue me!
Abiding in Christ does not mean a pain free life, but it is still better than anything else I could choose! I choose Him. He is enough.
1 The Lord is my shepherd;
I have all that I need.
2 He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
3 He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
4 Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
5 You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord
forever.
