Peace Day 46
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not
want. 2 He makes me to
lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3
He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s
sake. 4 Yea, 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. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my
enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my
life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
Psalm
23:1-6
The
Twenty-third Psalm has been read and memorized for generations. Even though it
only consists of merely six verses, its power is obvious. The Psalm is an
indicator of our need for comfort. Through each generation, this Psalm has
reminded us that peace is available to us because of who and how our God is. He
is a God who can grant us peace by covering our needs.
Just from the verbs of the scripture, we learn how He cares
for us. God makes us lie down in green pastures, leads
us, restores
our souls, comforts us, prepares a table before us, and anoints
us. He does all of this while He “is” with us. Meanwhile, all that is
left for us is to choose not to fear the shadows of difficulty and simply let
Him have our cups run over with His blessings. By doing this, His goodness and
mercy will follow us for life.
