The Blessings Of Psalm 23

None can fathom the treasures of His word unless He chooses to reveal it, for in His word exists springs of living water.  His word is light and His word is life.  Let us read the blessings of Psalm 23.

1 “ The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.”  My Lord Jesus Christ is my shepherd.  I shall not want nothing more than to follow Him, for if He is my shepherd then I am His sheep.  I belong to Him and He belongs to me. 

2  “He makes me lie down in green pastures” He brings me to brighter places.  Even in my worse days, I am in a better place when I am with Him.

2-3  “he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.  He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”  He calms the storm in me and quiets my soul.  He heals the core of my heart and overwhelms me with His perfect peace.  His word always guides me in the right path and brings glory to His name.

4  “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.”  Although I live in the world in the midst of darkness, I will fear no one for His light is in me.  Father, you bring me comfort through your word and through your everlasting love.

5.  “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.  You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.”  You pour many blessings upon me for all to see the goodness of your name.  Furthermore, you generously pour your Holy Spirit upon your humble servant, so much so I can barely contain it!

6.  “Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”  Now that I am one with my Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ, the Lord’s goodness and His love will also be with me for as long as I live.  I shall go to my Father’s house and He will make His home my home.  At last, I shall live with Him in peace covered in His love forever and ever.  Amen!

Author’s note: The Lord has given me a greater appreciation for this scripture.  He inspired me to write the blessings of Psalm 23.  As I read each verse, His word spoke to me.  May it be a blessing to you as it has been to me.
