Psalm 23

Psalm 23

"1The LORD is my ^(A)shepherd,
I shall ^(B)not want.
2He makes me lie down in ^(C)green pastures;
He ^(D)leads me beside ^(E)quiet waters.
3He ^(F)restores my soul;
He ^(G)guides me in the ^(H)paths of righteousness
For His name's sake.
4Even though I ^(I)walk through the ^[a]valley of the shadow of death,
I ^(J)fear no ^[b]evil, for ^(K)You are with me;
Your ^(L)rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5You ^(M)prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have ^(N)anointed my head with oil;
My ^(O)cup overflows.
6Surely ^(P)goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will ^[c](Q)dwell in the house of the LORD forever."

(Quoted from http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2023;&version=49;)

God is my leader and provider. He protects me from the wolves and blesses me in my life. As long as I keep focused on Him, and in His will I should not be in want. He brings me peace and stability, and even though I walk through fire, God will keep me from being burnt or hurt. Death shall not have a part of my life. God will forever dwell in my house and be my first love. Praise God for the overflowing blessing He brings.
