Psalm 23 – Because

(Because) He is MY shepherd

I lack nothing as His divine power provides everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him

Because He is MY shepherd

In the midst of worldly turmoil, He lifts off my stress and provides peace-filled rest

Because He is MY shepherd

My soul is restored

Because He is MY shepherd

He goes before me, clearing my path and guiding me to do what is right for His name’s sake

Because He is MY shepherd

I don’t fear the evil in the shadows and valleys because I do not walk alone -He is with me

Because He is MY shepherd

I am comforted knowing His rod will defend and protect me and I am confident His staff will rescue me back onto the right path when I slip

Because He is MY shepherd

I rejoice -even in the presence of enemies, because He prepares a luxurious spread before me that satisfies like no earthly treat ever has, and I rejoice as He places a holy calling on me to tell others about Him.

Because He is my shepherd my cup is not half full or half empty – it is overflowing!

Because He is MY shepherd

He who is goodness and lovingkindness will pursue me ALL the days of my life in this world and the next where I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever

Is the Lord Jesus YOUR shepherd?

He wants to be.
