"The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." - Psalm 23:1-4
This passage is most commonly known as the "funeral Psalm" as it is often read at funerals. But as I was doing my bible reading one day, and I came to this passage, I really just stopped and carefully read it, and just fell in love with it. It paints a beautful picture of how God is always by our side protecting us. I love how it says "he refreshes my soul," and that it says "I lack nothing." That is so beautiful. God is the only thing I will ever need, because with Him I lack nothing. This passage also reminds me that there is nothing I need to fear because God is always with me.
These verses inspired one of my favorite songs by Matt Redman called "You Never Let Go." Listen to the song, and really meditate on the words. It is a great reminder that no matter what is going on in our lives, that God never lets go, and he is always with us.
