Text for the Day -- Psalm 23 ---------- The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside still waters; he restores my soul. He leads me in right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I 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 goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD my whole life long.
Devotional ---------- Each phrase in this psalm carries a wonderful image. What strength do you find in these phrases and which one speaks to you in a special way? This psalm is read at many funerals and is frequently asked to be read in hospital visits. Have you memorized this psalm? You may want to.
Prayer --------------- I praise and bless your shepherd heart, O Lord. Amen
