Psalm 23

 When I was a little girl, this was one of the first Bible passages I learned to memorize. But only in recent years has it come to mean more to me than perhaps I first realized. I have recited in at my dying grandmother's bedside; I have quoted it to myself as I walked  down the hallways of hospitals, wondering if my father would live. Today, I hold it dear because of Who it speaks of and describes - the Savior I know and love who is, and always will be, my Good Shepherd. 

Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in 

the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, 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.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence

of mine enemies; thou annoinest my head with oil;

my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the 

days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord

forever.
