Read Psalm 23

Read Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd;

I have everything I need.

²He lets me rest in fields of green grass

and leads me to quiet pools of fresh water.

³He gives me new strength.

He guides me in the right paths,

as he has promised.

⁴Even if I go through the deepest darkness,

I will not be afraid, Lord,

for you are with me.

Your shepherd’s rod and staff protect me.

⁵You prepare a banquet for me,

where all my enemies can see me;

you welcome me as an honoured guest

and fill my cup to the brim.

⁶I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life;

and your house will be my home as long as I live.

Think

Most of us should have committed this Psalm to memory.  It is a classic because it is true of God's love for us - the way God is with his people.  A shepherd who joins us in our struggles and guides us in his love.

Pray

Help me to be aware of you as my shepherd today.
