The Lord of Psalm 23 is my shepherd...

Psalm 23, a simple yet familiar psalm close to my heart. It was my mum’s favourite psalm and I was recently ministered by the words of this psalm.

I remembered staying up really late to do some URL referencing for my project on Saturday night and I almost knock out from the lack of sleep during my SOL class the following day. But thanks be to God, for He is a God who restores my soul. During this few weeks of reading the psalms, I have found myself delighting in the word of God and even though I may have felt physically tired during SOL class as well as service, I was able to catch the message that God was telling me. For God was there to restore my soul, reading His word has indeed refresh my spirit man.

Psalm 23 also reminded me that the Lord will guide me in His righteousness. Even as I face the many trials and persecutions in my life, I will stand firm for I trust in the Lord and He is always with me. For I know that the testing of my faith produces endurance and I will let endurance have its perfect result so that I make be perfect and complete in Him, lacking in nothing. I have never failed to experience His goodness and love and I know that if there is one thing I would ask of the Lord, it would be to dwell in his place, spend time with my heavenly Father.

For the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want…
