READ: Psalm 23 NIV
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 forever.
LISTEN: “Still Waters” by Leanna Crawford https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW0VJxPqeRc
In the song, “Still Waters,” Leanna Crawford talks of her Great Aunt Maurine and the advice she gave: “Write scripture on your heart for when you need it.” Psalm 23 is a short chapter that speaks volumes! It is a reminder that the Lord takes care of us. He leads us. He refreshes us. He guides us. We have nothing to fear. He is with us always. He protects. He comforts us. He shelters us from evil. He sets us apart. He is all we need! He is so, so good! His goodness is running after us!! The invitation is there to dwell in the house of the Lord forever!
PRAY: Lord, thank you for Your Word and all Your promises. We are grateful for Your goodness! Help us to slow down and take note of every good and perfect thing that You are doing today! AMEN
