i love this passage because it makes you think about how God brought you out of alot of dark places, i cant thank HIM enough so am grateful for this passage alone.
I think this world is what you make of it. God diesnt Gand out blessings , your mind hands out what you believe it can handlel. Weak minds poor sprits , strong minds strong spirits. Build your mind and heart in spirt and soul , get a relation with God, believe in him who died for your sins, repent them, Giving a blessing in the church only buys the preacher diamond rings and a good living , bless yourself and fulfill your needs , satan is one of the biggest idiots created . His power is only great for those who allows it. I have been between haven and hell all my life , I have seen and felt gods love and Satans torment. I have seen alliens , flying saucers and government abuse with Devilworshippers that controls it. If you are right with God then I suggest you fear the government and what they can do . They are Satan in the flesh, if ever one in the United States would get it right with God and take our abusive government this world would be a better place to live in. God Bless
Rev. Hamilton Pagan, M.A. on Psalms 23 - 8 years ago
Many believers struggle with sleeplessness. their minds are flooded with decisions and problems. others have spirits burdened with needs and cares. some cannot sleep because of fear. the great Shepherd longs to take us His sleepless sheep in His arms and calm us by His presence and loving care. when we place our full trust in Him, He takes care of us; He tends to all of our needs. rest in Him
I Thank God that He restores my soul when I call upon Him : Even though I had done wrong toward Him : When I call He is there : He leads me in the path of His righteousness and His path is the only righteous way : For His name's sake He does this for me . As He leads me in the path of righteous I am to stay , abide in His righteousness. I Thank God for restoration !!!
When I had surgery for liver cancer a couple of years ago, I had very vivid images of heaven and hell, I was told (in my state of confusion) that if I could recite Psalm 23, it would keep me out of hell. I could not remember all of it... I kept trying to say it but my mouth wouldn't form the words and my tongue and lips kind of all stuck together. It was weird, but unforgettable.
I like Psalms 23 - I pray it fir myself often- I start with
"You Lord You are my Shepherd"
I use it throughout as my own prayer"
I believe He is with me,
In view of Psalms 23 one must be mindful all of the Goodness of God. Let me say it this way- even if individuals are going through storms or challenges in life-God will give you comfort in time of your storms. Not only that but God will feed you in times of your storms even while the enemy is full press against you.
Truly I realize how much I appreciate this psalm,I recite it back to the Lord with my daily prayers and it has been instrumental in my relationship with Him.It creates an intimacy with Him because He desires to be intimate with us and as His works speak to our they become alive and take us beyond ourselves to relationship with the Lord that is delicately intimate. An example of His Love for us.Joy
I trust in The Lord with all my heart but I need to be better at sharing the word with others. I prey often but not enough, I read my bible and prey for forgiveness from our Shepard. I feel God at work in my life, I am aware when I say or do something wrong and I'm trying to be a better Christian. I won't stop trying.
My Shepard is the Lord and my Pastor i want for nothing he leads i follow something i need to do more of.it teaching me daily to have an understanding with him. So my prayers are always to learn and be a doer of the word and not just a hearer of it. So i will dwell in the house of the Lord meaning i will go into the church for the rest of my life to have a relationship with the Lord and do right
I find it especially vs5 because I had a very serious problems getting my qualifications at tertiary but I prayed with this book of Psalms and God proved that His word and His promise does not change.Now I work as an educator through Him
Trusting in the Lord with all of your heart is not always that easy as humans, we have a natural tendency for self-preservation and when we rely on our own power we usually fail. God is awesome and I am learning to trust in Him for ALL of my needs (big and small).
God is showing us how much he loves us by taking care of our every need all we have too do is trust him no matter what happens just give our self too him
