I have been reading through the book of Psalms this month. I read this book of Psalms many times and each time, the Scripture enlightens and encourages me.
Psalm 23 is a familiar book. It is probably the second Scripture I memorized, the first being John 3:16. Today I am sharing Psalm 23 from the New Living Translation.
“The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in the green meadows; he leads me beside the peaceful streams.
He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bring honor to His name.
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for You are close to me. For Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me.
Your prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows wth blessings.
Surely goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.” (Psalm 23 – NLT)
