The 23rd Blessing *Psalm*
I recieved an email today from my best friend and I wanted to share it.
Its about one of the shortest chapters in the Bible and one of my favorites....Psalm 23
The First Verse tells us.
- The Lord is my sheppard...and that talks about relationship.
- I shall NOT want.....that is Supply (God will supply ALL our needs)
The Second Verse tells us...
- He Maketh me to lie down in green pastures...and that is talking about rest (God gives rest to the weary)
- He leadeth me beside the still waters...and thats refreshment
The Third Verse tells us...
- He Restoreth my soul....thats Healing (God is the Great Physician)
- He Leadeth me in the paths of righteousness....thats Guidance
- For his name sake....Thats Purpose (God always has a perfect purpose and plan Look in Romans 8:28 also)
The fourth verse tells us...
- Yea though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of death....thats his testing us
- I will fear NO evil...Thats protection
- For thou art with me....thats faithfullness
- Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me....thats discipline
The fifth verse tells us....
- Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies...Thats Hope
- Thou anointest my head with oil...Thats Consecration
- My cup runneth over...Thats abundance( He will supply all our needs)
The sixth verse tells us....
- Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life....Thats a BLESSING
- And I will dwell in the house of the Lord...Thats Security
- FOREVER.....THATS ETERNITY!!
This is a great chapter to read over and over...even on a daily basis...when your sick, tired, lonely, scared, or even if you feel content!!!
I challenged you my friends and readers...read this chapter more often and you will not be disapointed...for it is all true....We Serve an Awesome God and with out him we cannot experience any of these things fully.
I hope that all of you will go read this chapter....and even memorize it....
Have a blessed day!!!
