Psalm 23 - Week 1

Psalm 23:1-6
The Lord is my shepherd; I have what I need. He lets me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters. He renews my life; he leads me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, 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. Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live.

Psalm 100:3
Acknowledge that the Lord is God. He made us, and we are his, his people, the sheep of his pasture

WHEN THE LORD IS YOUR SHEPHERD, YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED.

He is before all things, and by him all things hold together.
