Episode 81: Psalm 23

Today's meditation is based on the 23rd Psalm.

Because the Lord is my best friend and my shepherd, I don't need a thing. I always have more than enough. He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. I am bedded down in lush green meadows. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. He finds me quiet pools to drink from. That's where he restores and revives my life. True to his word, I catch my breath before he sends me in the right direction. He opens the right paths before me, and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name. 

Even when I walk through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for God already has! He walks by my side. His authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of his love takes away my fear. I will never be lonely, because my Lord is always near.

God prepares a delicious feast -- a six-course dinner -- right in front of my enemies when they dare try to fight. I am anointed with the fragrance of his Holy Spirit. My cup overflows with blessing... more than I can contain.

So why would I ever fear the future? God's beauty and favor chase after me. Only goodness and tender love pursue me all the days of my life. And when my days on this earth are through, I will return to his glorious presence, and dwell in the house of God forever. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
