Episode 62 - Psalm 23 (NLT) - Phenomenal
Psalm 23 1 - 6 NLT
The LORD is my shepherd; I have what I need.
He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.
He renews my life;
He leads me along the right paths for His name’s sake.
Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff - they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD as long as I live.
Pretty phenomenal, isn’t it?
So it begins by using the present tense verb “is” - the Lord is my shepherd. Present tense. Pay attention to that - it is a tiny word and it is hugely important! Not will be my shepherd tomorrow but is my shepherd today, in this moment.
And I have, you have, what we need.
This is God’s promise to us!
He is your personal shepherd for your unique, one-of-a-kind life, so I’d like you to sort of think about what that means. What do you need Him to guide you through? What’s going on in your world right now?
Psalm 23 covers it all. None of what truly matters in life is left out of this passage. The psalmist makes it completely clear (like crystal clear) that nothing - nothing at all, not one single itty bitty iota - is left uncovered, left behind, forgotten or neglected in your life, nor in mine.
No detail is missed. No need is missed. There is a promise here that literally - literally! - nothing in your life can possibly be neglected if the Lord is your shepherd.
Phenomenal!!!
There is more to believe God for in these six verses than we could ever exhaust, than could be run dry and used up over the course of a lifetime. I really mean that!
Yeah.
There’s so much here.
It really does cover it all.
Phenomenal.
And btw, I am pretty sure God thinks you are phenomenal.
