Psalm 23:1 (NKJV)
The LORD is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
What a great statement of faith, complete trust in God; David proclaimed his belief that His Father would provide his every need
Psalm 23:2 (NKJV)
He makes me lie down in green pastures; He restores my soul.
Comfort and rest, joy and peace, love and forgiveness, these are all promises from our Father
Psalm 23:3 (NKJV)
He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
The reason for Jesus is us, holy, beloved, righteous in God's sight, to be His family forever
Psalm 23:4 (NKJV)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me
Just like David, every day we walk around in the presence of evil, but fear is not an option for us, our Father is always with us and He has our back, in our faith victory is assured
Psalm 23:5 (NKJV)
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.
No matter how big the problem appears to us it is never too big for God and when we put our trust in our Father His blessings overflow us
Psalm 23:6 (NKJV)
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the LORD Forever.
In John 10:10 Jesus declared that He came that we might have life and life abundantly, unlike us Jesus did not and does not engage in idle, insignificant chatter, but rather He speaks God's truth, believe it and receive it
Abba Father as Your humble and obedient children, our complete trust and faith is in You, we will live according to Your truth; it is in the name of our Lord, our Savior, and our Healer Christ Jesus that we pray. Amen.
