Many people have heard The 23rd Psalms, most at a funeral. But The 23rd Psalms is my mantra. I have memorized. I carry it in my heart wherever I go.
The 23rd Psalms is a passage for the living, not the dead. It re-focuses my mind on God when I am stressed. It gives me peace and hope. Consider these words for a moment...
"The lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever."
I love the hope that faith in Christ brings into my life. I hope of eternity - peace - righteousnes - guidance - a forever home.
May God watch over and keep you.
