Psalm 23

The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.

He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil 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.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Of course this is familiar to all of us, but in its familiarity I think we lose something and don't grasp all that the scripture is saying. This week I've been reading this with "new" eyes, trying to find what I've missed by just rotely reciting the verses. I've looked at it in several versions and read it accenting different words in each sentence. The kids and I have been discussing it together everynight as well. Praise God for His living word!!
ok, this "sheep" has to get going...I have lunch duty at CHS...Baaa!
