Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
for ever.
Prayer hour
This week we are meditating over Psalm 23 – the best-known Psalm in the Book of Psalms and experience again God’s provision, God’s leading, God’s protection, God’s presence, God’s salvation.
One Verse At A Time
Today we look at verse 5
This part of this impactful passage sees the Psalmist move metaphors from God being our Shepherd to being our Host.
We see a picture of an ultimate provider, one who is constant, one who understands our circumstances and one who gives us more than we need.
It also reminds us that the battle is ultimately The Lords! We can so often take on the battles of our lives and we miss the feast that He sets before us.
Take this opportunity for our hour of prayer to pull in your chair, rap the napkin around your neck cherie, and he’ll provide our rest (name that film).
My prayer for us today is that we humble ourselves, allow God’s anointment to pour over us, and to realise even more how He is with us through all of our battles.
