You’ve probably heard it and read it many times, but have you ever considered how Psalm 23 is the “perfect” psalm?
The LORD is my shepherd.
Perfect leadership for my soul.
I shall not want.
Perfect satisfaction.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
Perfect rest.
He leads me beside still waters.
Perfect refreshment.
He restores my soul.
Perfect healing.
He leads me in paths of righteousness…
Perfect guidance.
…for his name’s sake.
Perfect motivation.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death…
Perfect perspective.
…I will fear no evil…
Perfect protection.
…for you are with me.
Perfect company.
Your rod and your staff…
Perfect discipline.
…they comfort me.
Perfect encouragement.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
Perfect provision.
You anoint my head with oil.
Perfect consecration.
My cup overflows.
Perfect joy.
Surely…
Perfect assurance.
…goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.
Perfect grace.
I shall dwell in the house of the LORD…
Perfect hope.
…forever.
Perfect future.
Psalm 23, a “perfect” psalm to shape and inspire your walk with God. Are you listening to the shepherd’s voice? Are you following his lead? What an opportunity we’ve been blessed with to make that “perfection” personal…
Happy Lord’s day.
