One of the greatest and most used passages in the Bible is Psalm
23. My Dad memorized and repeated it when he was in the Korean war. I have
heard it at almost every funeral I have attended. It has been read in countless
hospital rooms. Even as the shrouds of death encircle us we take hope that God
is with us.
Today
may we take comfort in theses great words about God's plan for our lives, and
His active involvement in it.
Psalm 23 (KJV) - A psalm of David
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 anointest 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 for ever.
Amen?
Amen?
