Today's full One Year Bible readings:Exodus 5:22-7:25 ~ Matthew 18:21-19:12 ~ Psalm 23:1-6 ~ Proverbs 5:22-23
The 23rd Psalm is perhaps the most well known of all the psalms. Even now I remember learning this psalm in Sunday School as a young boy. It's words have provided me with a wealth of comfort through the years as I know that God is with me as the Great Shepherd is there for His sheep.
Over the last several months Psalm 23 has been a staple in our daily portions and conversations about the Word since my four year old son, Joel, has been memorizing it along with his preschool class at church. It was thrilling to know that he, too, will be comforted and reminded through the years of God's faithfulness to His people as a great shepherd. Here's Joel in action.
Even 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.
Psalm 23:4 (NIV)
Today, as an act of worship, I pray you will be comforted in knowing that God is always there for you; He never leaves us abandoned. And, I pray that you will follow Him as He guides you in "paths of righteousness."
