Psalms 23:2 Context
1(A Psalm of David.) The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. 3He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

4 days AgoNateThis 23rd Psalm is avery important , however much is missed if I don't pause after the first verse. The Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not want.. If I am truly saying this then I realize that shepherds herd sheep, they provide for sheep .. Truly commiting to this verse, I realize I am sheep, my complete trust is in the Good Shepherd. This Christ said is like the Kingdom of God.Flag
