“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.” (NIV)
It is my hope that this study has brought a refreshing view of this well known Psalm in your daily reading of it. Each day we have been examining different elements that can enhance our understanding of what David may have been thinking. But today I want to challenge you to read it as a unit. David wrote it as one Psalm. There was one idea and the verses are a single thought of poetry.
Before our fourth sabbath break tomorrow and before we continue in our Lenten journey, I want to encourage you today to read the Psalm and write a response to our Good Shepherd. Write down how this Psalm blesses you. Thank Him for being your Shepherd. Spend a little extra time in prayer…then read the Psalm again.
Blessings!
