THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD, I SHALL NOT WANT
Don’t believe the lie of the deceiver who whispers: “Sure, everybody knows the 23rd Psalm. I’m sure you can recite it by heart, right? That’s important.”
God’s Truth: Psalm 23: 1-2
Prayer: Lord, I hear you ask me whether I am living the first two verses of the 23rd Psalm. Do I want for something? Are the ‘pastures’ green for me right now? Do I feel like the waters are quiet or do I feel like I am in the frenzy of the ‘rapids’? Come Holy Spirit, come, that I may know Your Shepherding Love, the absence of want, the leading beside Your Quiet Waters.
