This psalm helps me when my soul feels empty and without feeling. God reassures me that he is ever present in danger and that as I walk to the lake in meditation, I can remember that he will restore my soul with its still waters, and that if I lay myself down in the fields back home or somewhere in the valley I can look up into the sky and watch the clouds roll by overhead. He reminds me that the world is constantly turning and that I am still, and the earth will continue turning. The Lord refreshes me and continues his walk and says Anna, you have new strength. I am with you.
David is under the care of Jehovah God, while Saul is trying to kill him, yet the Holy Spirit gives David this Psalm to comfort him, knowing that the word of God is as a rod, and a staff that the Shepherd uses to fight off all enemies that would try to harm the sheep. So David knows God will protect him in every situation, while he walks through the valley, and shadow of death, which is but a metaphor in life.
well I think that God is our only hope in this world,and he is telling me that we should want for nothing or ask for nothing cause he already knows what we need and want, and that we shouldnt be living the way that we are cause its the things of the world and we shouldnt want the things of the world, we all should just focus on the Lord at all times and it also tells me that no matter what people say about you or I or what they do to us that we should just pray to God for them and let God take over,and fear no man but to fear God amen
It took David decades of trial and error to become the man after God 's own heart. We are walking through the valley of the shadow of death the entire phase of our physical lives on earth. God has a table prepared before us during our time TOGETHER here on earth. But we must pray for eyes to see God and ears to hear God. This is not something we can obtain on our own. David was persistent in prayer and song as we must be. We are to become the doorways by which, through Christ, God pours his love into a chaotic world.
The Lord is our salvation have faith in The Lord and all things are possible . In due time he will make our enemies our foot stools. Be leave in The Lord . Praise be to God
Thank God that he is my shepherd I shall not want people of God let 's make Jehovah Gamola our shepherd he is a more that enough God. God prepares a table before us is the presence of our enemies, just imagine people of God that we have increase in the presence of our enemies, unstoppable favor, increase in all area, of our lives. 2015 is the year for increase, let 's believe God together, that everything that satan has stolen from us in 2014, that our God Jehovah Nissi will give us back Double for our trouble, praise be to God
Psalms 23 is all about when, who, where, why, what God is. He protects, restores, provides, he gives you fulfilment, peace and joy, he makes your enemies a footstool, he shows his boundless unconditional love, comfort and safety. He is unshakable and everlasting anchor.
I Praise God that surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. Because of this I will dwell in the house of the Lord foe ever. In the almost forty years that I have been with my Lord : Through the Good times and through the bad times : My God is Faithful as long as I call on Him and want Him in my life. Words cannot express how much we are loved by our Lord. Wonderful : Wonderful Love !!!!
IS MY DECLARATION UPON THE PEOPLE OF GOD ALL OVER THE WORLD THAT THIS MOUNTH WILL BRING US UNSTOPABLE BLESSINGS WITH JOY AND EVERLASTING FAVOR THROUGH THY BLOOD OF JESUS AMEN.
May you truly know the Shepherd. Reciting the the 23rd Psalm and knowing the Shepherd are two different things...may you me know the Shepherd. Get to know the Shepherd. Stop trying to put together a master for your life and for your happiness. Instead, seek out the Master 's plan for your life and for your happiness. Allow him to lead you, to guide you, to be your companion, your friend, your coach, and your mentor. He will lead you to green pastures. He will restore your soul. And your cup will overflow.
This book shows when you are with God, there is nothing that you cannot, because God is willing. When you read verse 8, u will know that God will never fails you, He will gives you good things,while the enemies are watching.
David was talking about Christ who did come as shepherd for the souls of men to turn them back to God the Father and guide us out of darkness into his light. He give up his life so the comforter would come from God to show us to the eternal life.
Disagree with the commentary "Thy rod and thy staff - Two words denoting the same thing, and both designing God 's pastoral care over him ", as a rod is used for discipline, safety, and staff for comfort, strength and leadership. However, the notion of God 's pastoral care is accurate.
