Psalm 23

Psalm 23 one I know off by heart, have known since I was a lil kid, we probably all know it but sometimes we can learn things so matter of factly and miss what is being said to us............... well I do. :)

So I have looked at it over again and have been blessed at what God has been telling me through this scripture.

God is our shepherd, we are his sheep, he looks after us and out for us all the time! WE are his and HE is ours. We shall not want for anything, because he provides us with all that we need. The world has lots of things to offer and tempt us, but all are temporary no real substance, nothing that will last. Gods gifts are eternal!!!! :)

He makes me lie down in green pastures, I picture a serene place of rest, a luscious green pasture of grass, healthy and green, growing, flourishing. A place where we can find peace and relax and find comfort. Leads us beside the still waters, peaceful, quiet, clean and pure waters, refreshing, flowing. He leads the way and shows us where to go. It's up to us if we follow.

He restores my soul if we ask him to come into our hearts and lives, he forgives our sins. He died on the cross for us, gave his life, the ultimate sacrifice, so that we can be restored. He wants to make us whole, restored,renewed, complete in him! He heals our broken hearts and lives and transforms us into new creations in him. :)

He guides us in paths, he's with us each and every step of the way, he's always there!!! He walks with us and talks with us, and is there in all circumstances good and bad! He leads us when we seek his face, through prayer and reading his word, as we work on our relationship with him we become more like him :)

Even though we may be walking through shadows and dark circumstances, we need not fear, he knows all about it and he's there with us. All we need to do is trust in him, he's protecting us because we are his. He sends his Holy Spirit to bring us comfort in hard times. He loves us!

He has prepared a table before us, a banquet a feast. God has great things instore for us, if only we seek his face. He annoints us, blessing us, our cup overflows, our lives full of him, so that we are overflowing and others will see how great God is! He has a plan to prosper us not harm us.

Goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life. God is good! He's not just a now God or a yesterday God, he's a forever GOD!! Eternal! Always the same:) He's a God of love and mercy, through his mercy we are saved. If we come to him with our lives and ask him in. And we will live with him forever in heaven, a home that he has prepared for us :)

He can satisfy all our needs! bring us happiness:D we can have his presence with us each and every day! Amen :) xx
