“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 names sake. Yea, 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 runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Psalm 23

Love this scripture. What it means to me is God prepares the way for my life, nothing can come against me or take his Love away from me. He’s changing my heart to be more like his right now in this season. I’m falling in love with Jesus. ❤️
God really has our best interest at heart. as long as we follow up.
The Lord is my shepherd. Just as sheep follow, listen and trust their shepherd. I should do the same by trusting, following and listening to God. He is faithful. Always. When I am going through dark times. His word will comfort me. I am never alone. God is so good. When we keep his word our cup overflows. Thank you Lord God for your great love.
This really blesses me because God has been ministering to me this Psalm. Especially that he anoints my head with oil, my cup runneth over. I just love the way God confirms his word. I love, love, love it
This scripture is reminder that God hears my prayers, interprets my tears my and goes before me in every situation.
* is a reminder *
Yeah tho I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil….
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear
No evil. I am in a dry season and it’s all because I’m dying to everything I used to know. I’m putting a separation between myself and things that caused me to die in sin everyday. I’m choosing to die now to get closer to who God created me to be. This has opened the door for all types of distractions, difficulties, and heartaches. Regardless of anything I may feel emotionally in the process SPIRITUALLY I’m opening myself do t for
The Holy Spirit to do its work in me. I walk through this storm with my head held high even on the days I feel my lowest because I know that GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME. I’ll be ok, it may be pressing on every side but God will see me through this valley.
This scripture reminds me that no matter what face He is still right beside me even if I face death I have nearly lost my life several times but He is was right there even when I didn’t know Him I wouldn’t be alive if it wasn’t for Him I have known the Lord for 50 years
This is always a reminder that the fear and worry that I may feel is contrary to how God sees this relationship. Having faith that God will lead us into a place where we have no need should give us confidence in knowing to God will handle all of your enemies as goodness lied ahead.
Jehovah Rohi
Total and complete surrender and dependence on GOD, we will want for nothing, let him order our steps, fill us with his presence and nothing/no one can stand against us! 🕊️
I believe that the Lord gave us exactly what He has planned for our lives. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow us. God did it all in order as He says Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death… I will fear no evil… for you are with me. His rod and His staff shall comfort me. As we go
Through life and face many struggles God promised that He will prepare a table before us after our valley moments.. He let us know that when we face adversity and hate from others that the table was to be prepared in the presence of our enemies not friends not loved ones. He anoints our head with oil as protection because again surely goodness and mercy shall follow us ALL the DAYS OF OUR LIVES…
The Lord reminds me that in this beautiful picture of our relationship with Him, since He is the Great Shepherd and Guardian of our souls, we are sheep; His lambs. What an amazing reminder of the eternal plan of salvation. He became one of us; oh, Lamb of God, Lord Jesus, you became a Lamb that was the perfect sacrifice!
Holy Shepherd, what a delight to keep our eyes on the path where you lead us in the ways of God.
We love you Lamb of God who became our Shepherd!
He restores my soul- my mind my will and my emotions. He leads me in paths of righteousness….right seeing, right thinking , right doing, and right being and right acting…about who He is, about who I am … about all of my life situations and IN all my life situations. I exchange my way of seeing thinking doing etc…… for His ways. Show me what to lay down today that is of me and help me take up what is of You ! I chose to live an exchanged life shared with You Father. With Your help, In and through Jesus…
This lets me know I have nothing to fear for my God is awesome and I am covered by his blood and he will never leave me or forsake me thank you Jesus
This is my favorite Psalm it always reminds me that God is our protector and our peace and our provider he always takes care of his sheep amen
My Abba Father guides my paths, provides my needs and comforts me.
He is merciful and kind.
He is my sourse.
This actually reminded me on today that no matter what is going on around me that I can rest assured that he is with me it will all work out for me and to trust in the Lord because he cares for me and nothing by any mean a will over take me
This scripture speaks to me and says. My father is all that I need and want. He will lead me all the days of my life. When I need to rest, rest in him, when I need to refresh go and gain peace by the waters. As I walk with him he will guide my feet along the path he has set for me long before I knew myself. I will not fear for he is with me. Everything that was meant for bad he will turn it into good in front of those that may have harmed me in any wrong doing. I will rise up above all things and have everything I need and more. Continue to grow spiritually and trust in the lord with all my heart. For he is with me for the rest of days in the flesh and in the spirit.
The valley of the shadow of death, a place where evil abides. The Lord lays us down in a place of safety. Hiding us under his safety. Spiritually speaking I’ve had this happen to me. This is a beautiful scripture and it is alive David shared this when he was hurting and God showed up for him. I like David was revealed that he will lay us down in safety when we need it. His love is promising.
The Beloved is mine and I am His. This beautiful Psalm proves every aspect of His Character,Love and Grace. Jehovah Jireh: our Provider, Jehovah Roi: The God Who Sees me, Jehovah Shalom, my God of Peace, Jehovah T’sidkenu: my Righteousness, and so many more aspects of the magnificence of Who He Is!!!! He is my very Life and in Him I live and move and have my very being. I am nothing without Him, can do nothing without Him and have nothing without Him. His very Name and Nature is Love. How I love Him!!!!
Amen amen. Amen. I receive this.
It’s hard for me-the difference between fact and truth. Truth is ALL of Gods Word and promises are Truth-but our facts (circumstances for instance) are not the same. So resisting doubt and unbelief is hard. Generalizing God’s Love for everyone and being able to personalize for myself and my family. I know what the Truth is but not seeing it working makes it hard.
This means everything to me. It shows me that I am never alone especially over the last few months. I suffered a cardiac arrest on ventilator for 8 days hospitalized for almost a month. I was released and a month later readmitted for 2 weeks. By the grace of God I’m still here. It’s difficult at times but I know I will be ok. The fear and anxiety took a hold of me but with God I know all things are possible and I will be okay. There was a time I felt alone and did not know if He was there. It is still difficult and the unknown is full of fear. I know He will never leave me. Every day is different I have my good and bad days but I stay close to Him through the Word, devotional and reading some of the comments. It has helped more than you know. Thank you for doing what you were called to do. It helps to know I am not alone.
I believe Psalms 23 is God’s Word and promise.
In my heart I believe it means we will have troubles in this world, trials and tests but Psalms 23 is a reminder that we have a God much bigger than any fearful thought, any disease, any spirit of oppression, any financial circumstance, any obstacle that is ahead and we can face all these things head on knowing that our God is with us, beside us and carrying us through the storms of life, the battles ahead that we don’t know about yet. Our Father is our protection and all we need is His light (The Word) to carry us.
This scripture means to me I am covered and I have the best shepherd to cover me.
This scripture is my protection, my safe place, it tells all that He is doing,and will do. I speak this scripture every night before bed. Thank you you are a life changer.
The Lord is everything I need. I don’t want to for anything. The Lord helps me to be in peace and as God places me in peace He leads me. I don’t have to fear anything. Even when I have need the Lord continue to provide for me, even in the presence of me enemy God is with Mr. With me all the days of my life shall I dwell in His house amen
Stands out simply I know regardless of what is happening or about to happen, God has me. He is with me when I am afraid so the human side is comforted by the spirit of God. I could be facing my enemy which could be so many things. But GOD is there with his foods of the Spirit in front of me. GOD provides grace when I do not deserve it and mercy when I have gone into darkness and need him to help me out. I do not deserve this loving compassionate, forgiving God. But he is there .

This scripture is my life .
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death … my first years on this earth as a youth began my journey of walking through the shadow of death .. I encountered death with a gun pointed to my head and an object in my mouth with many waiting on their turn I knew no way out of this dreadful situation I found myself in . I called on Jesus , I did not know Him but I had heard about Him and my tears and cry was heard in heaven .
Then suddenly a way opened up onto me and I was able to escape from the deadly trap . But I ran into corruption that sent me back in to my captors .
I cried out again and again my voice was heard in heaven and I was delivered from up out of it all .
I shall not want . ..
Today this is my life , after years of confessing this word for it was the only word I knew in the beginning then I learned and applied psalm 91 together these two scriptures came to life and did exactly what was written .
Through the years before I was in dark places … too numerous to list . I made poor choices and committed deliberate sins but His word pursued me
Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life . And that’s what happened Goodness and Mercy showed up in court Goodness and Mercy showed up in the prison Goodness and Mercy showed up and I was set free.Free indeed.
I needed to know who is this God ?
Who is this Jesus ?
Who again and again came to my rescue
Again and again protected me from the wicked one
Again and again lead me beside still waters ,
He restores my soul … He gives me back everything the devil stole from me
He forgives me for every sin I ever committed
He helps me and His help makes me great
His word is true
His word is active
Sharper than a two edged sword piercing bone and marrow
His word brought me back to life when pronounced dead by my doctor
His word kept me from the deadly pestilence while walking in the thick of COVID with no mask while serving Him and His people
God did it
It was Him
It was His word
I had eaten His word
Day after day
Night after night
He had written it on my mind and on my heart .
I abide in Him and He abides in me
Now I know
That every word of God is true
And you too can become a spiritual warrior and fight the good fight of faith by putting His word in your mouth
Eat it every day
Meditate on it all day
And watch Him act on your behalf
I have seen death
I have seen trouble
I have seen many things
I know He is real
I know He is God
I know He is my redeemer
His impenetrable shield surrounds me
Nothing shall by any means harm me
Now I know …
Now I dwell in the house of the LORD forever

Thank you for sharing. Psalm 23 means to me no matter where I go and no matter what I am faced with, The Lord goes with me. He comforts me in the midst of my trials and tribulations, he prepares a table before the ones/enemies who are against me and he anoints and appoints me to spread his good news. He provides all my needs!
When I first decided to get sober after a twenty year struggle with addiction I was truly in the valley of the shadow of death. God came and comforted, loved and encouraged me through the greatest struggle of my life. Now Jesus is my best friend and I have never been happier.
Oh My God…..I see Him as the loving Shepherd that He is…always protecting me and leading me to something good. He doesn’t leave me to do it on my own, He walks with me through valley experiences. He helps me to face my fears as he prepare a table in the presence of my enemies… Sometimes when I stray away, he allows me to be broken so I will stay close to him… that’s the love of a GOOD SHEPHERD!!!
I currently am going through a tough season of financial crisis and struggling with my 5 year old who is adjusting to two separate homes, (my home and his dad’s). We are the complete opposite. So with that comes with two different ways we’re raising him, and what we’re teaching him and it’s very hard. It’s not only exhausting and a battle everyday, but I also feel guilty because I feel like right now I can’t provide for my son as a single mom. It’s been very hard, but this scripture reminds me that the Lord is with me, and he is my strength. He is my comfort. I fear no evil, because the Lord is my rock. He makes a way when there is no way. He restores me when I feel weak. He hears my cries, my weeping, and sees my heart. I long for him, and he has me and my family. Because of who he is, who he promises to be, and for what Jesus has done, I praise him today, tomorrow, and forever! ❤️
The scripture gives me comfort knowing that the Lord being my shepherd he watches over me even though I wander off my shepherd will go and find me and bring me back and gather me amongst the other sheep and I shall not want meaning that there is nothing that my shepherd won’t do for me there is nothing that I should desire in my heart that my shepherd doesn’t already know and because he knows me so well he gives it to me and when my heart and my spirit is weary and downtrodden he restores it he lets me know that he loves me and he leaves me in the path of righteousness for his name’s sake because he loves me and he gave up his life for me so I give him all the glory for all that he has given me yay though I walk through the valley and the shadow of death I will fear no evil regardless of all the calamity and chaos going on around me I have no fear because the Lord as he said is my shepherd and he will protect me he is my rock he is my true living God thy rod and thy staff they comfort me I am going to be chastised if I am in the wrong but thy staff they comfort me and gently brings me back into the fold you prepare a table before me in the presence of mine enemies yes he has my table laid out so that Satan knows that I am anointed by the great one but my father by my savior he anoints my head with oil which is healing my cup runs over I am so full of joy and happiness because I have been anointed I have been invited into the Kingdom as a child of God and I will be with my father and I will be with my savior all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever amen I love this scripture
I am never alone. And I am truly loved. I know that no matters what is going on in this world, I am divinely protected and guided. God is my savior and He loves me.
Thank you God for your goodness and mercy.
This lets me know that our father is with us always and forever and he will never forsake us. We are His and He is ours. No weapon formed against us will prosper in His love and and strength and mercy and grace we are protected and provided for by our mighty God by his goodness and grace and through His son Jesus Christ and the holy Spirit we are redeemed forever and ever.
Praise God. 🙏🏽❤️
Hard to not think of Pulp Fiction 😉
This relieves my Soul to know that God is and is alone all I need in this world to get by. His wonderful Love will carry his daughters from low to high and from Faith to Faith and Glory to Glory.
What a wonderful God we serve and that is a wonderful Father to all his children. Amen 🙏🏽❤️
Amen. I know that the Lord is my strength and I know he’s my shepherd if it had not been for the Lord on my side where would I be I’ll be dead and gone my father’s with me everyday even though I may turn the corner of the wrong way but I ain’t going to never turn it won’t be too far that I cannot turn it back around and my father’s getting hold of my steering wheel he going to turn it for me the right way amen.

Psalms 23 surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life🙌🏽
This scripture means to me that we should want for nothing, that God will fulfill those wants for us, He will protect us, guide us, give us peace, and exalt us in front of our enemies our footstool.
JESUS, you are our center. Our guide our protector, you are our guide you are with us even in the midst of trouble your hand Lord we hold. We will be okay cause you God prepare a table in front of enemies your justice they will receive. Your prosperity we can enjoy and expect and you anoint us with your blessing of peace and joy, and safety we can be still and enjoy your presence without worry. Your goodness and hands upon our lives will be with us all the days of our life forever. This Bible text is one of the most enduring to me even as a child growing up and reading I simply loved the text the imaginary you can see the rivers flow and see the places he writes so beautifully its one of my favorite Bible text it encompasses so much. What God will do for us! And does for us is why he is our Father Jesus! And he alone is our God and shows us here just how deep his love is for us and shows how much he cares!. To God be the glory!
This scripture stands out in my spirit that The Lord is ever present ever all knowing of my needs.Nothing shall come up against me and prosper.Hes always walking with me no matter what.
The Lord is the complete package wher all of my needs and desires are concerned. All I need to do is to rest.
God is with me no matter what state I’m in HE is with me!!
Ps 23 gives encouragement. It is so true, having list 2 husband’s and several devastating challenges He is with me….has been with me. Having been widowed twice He provides He comforts, He guides. Having had a table before my enemies He provides and protects. Surely goodness and mercy follows me all the days of my life. This has been through the 83 years of my life. My email is book of esther 18161719 is Ps 18:161719
Why Ps 18….I was reading when I was crawling through the house because my back was out I couldn’t walk.
He restored my soul.
When I was broken in prices
My marriage was broken my family was broken. Financial broke.
To me it means “GODS got my back” 💪🏾🙏🏾💙

Psalms 23 let’s me know exactly who God is and what he has promised us. His love, protection, favor, guidance. Its assurance that God has my best interest at heart & in mind. Thank you Lord
I teared up reading it. I do this everytime I hear it or read it. I think of just before Hurricane Harvey the week of, my 11 month old nephew was murdered by babysitter during the Hurricane. My Pastor read this Psalm just before all this happened. I sat there in church balling weeping because the way he read it , I could feel what was to come. And ever since so much tribulations and trials have came and still coming.
I recently dreamed my son and I were being driven by Holy Spirit on pearly white charter bus where I awoke to see is being driven at fast pace through darkness and forests, and served around 2 military men army green uniforms in red polo hats and dream ended with me sitting next to a window and looked up at night blue black sky full of twinkly stars and half rainbow blue green yellow red with white puffy little cloud and heard choir of angels singing Rescue by Lauren Daigle
I’m so sorry. May His Rod and Staff Be your comfort as well as your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss, praying for you and your family 🙏
Leads me paths of righteousness for his name sake this verse shows me that as much as sometimes I want to know what the future holds I know God is leading the way and I may mistake paths and take wrong turns but God path will always remain Amen for that .
He restores my soul.
I don’t EVER have to fear nor worry my father is alway there with me. J can rest in my trials and tribulations can he walks through it with me. So I have nothing to worry about. I will have insurmountable mounts of peace when I’m rested in him.
I have to remember and TRUST that God is for me and that I’m not alone nor do I have to figure things out for myself.. He is my help. He is my Shepherd.
It made me think about when I take my dog Cooper out for his daily walk – something I delight in doing, regardless of the weather or how busy I am – because it’s his absolute favorite thing and the highlight of his day! It’s so fun seeing him enjoy life, exploring his favorite spots and discovering new ones, and getting the fresh air and exercise he needs to stay healthy. God delights in leading us to joyful places in our lives, and then, like me watching out for danger and the elements as I take my dog out and about – He lovingly guides us, corrects our direction, and leads us on new adventures and homeward to safety and comfort. The good shepherd leads me, and goodness and mercy follow me. How much safer and taken care of could I be than right next to my amazing God! His love and care for His children is beyond description. I am so blessed 🙏
Psalm 23 signifies to me the oil/wax that keeps my Armor of God ready: not bare, clear from dirt and grime, extending its lifespan, in full functionality and not rusty.
Psalm 23 signifies Life – a way of Life! A Life filled with the promise that I am a “VATA”: Victorious, Anointed, Triumphant Ambassador!
Psalm 23 means Yahshuah is enough for everything! HE created everything! HE is everything! HE owns everything! HE is over everything! HE has authority over everything! And because HE lives in me, HIS righteousness covers me and I walk in HIS given authority, mercy, and grace – not because I deserve it, but because HE has chosen me to gift me with eternal gifts, more than I can contain. Therefore, I am to freely give the overflow of HIS goodness and tender Love so others can be equipped to protect their armors as well.
That’s what Psalm 23 means to me!
There is a song by Leanna Crawford – still waters (psalm 23) I encourage each of you to listen to it since this is the daily topic if you haven’t already. It’s so beautiful and has really helped me in my storm. No matter what we face God is there guiding us along the way. He is our provider and waymaker. Everything we have is His and we lack nothing because he is our everything. He refreshes our soul and encourages our spirit through any situation. As long as I am seeking him with my whole heart he will provide everything I need and it will always be sufficient and no one will come between be and his goodness for my life. I will forever be his daughter and dwell in his home.
This tells me that God is always with me never leaving me guiding me keeping me safe giving me directions and loving me dearly
Wow I Just Read This This Morning God Is Really Talking to me. 🥲🙏
He has a battle plan spread out before me
For the past two days, I have felt down, defeated, and discouraged! I prayed to God to hear my pleas to fill me up again, and my God did just that. He has a way of ordering our steps to realize His goodness and just how blessed we are. So, the part that stands out to me, is He restoreth my soul! Praise Him all the day long! 🙌🏽♥️🙏🏾
The hole PSM 23 is a comfort for me to know that the Lord will always be with me. No matter what I may face I know HE hold me in the palm of HIS hand.
Be blessed woman of GOD. 👑❤️🙏👌
He leads and protects me wherever I go. Just like a child’s father protects them, from any harm or danger. The Lord can see what we can’t see. That’s why we should dwell with him each and every day and learn his ways.
“As my heart races preparing to take a seat with my name there, MY seat at my Lord’s table he’s prepared, I see my enemies there. If this were not my father’s table and my seat, I’d be tempted to leave. run. Hide. Or Stay and be anxious and afraid of what they were capable of and intent on doing.
For me it reminds me that the Lord tends to me, sees about me even when my circle fails too. He causes me to flourish, to get to a quiet and peaceful place, my spirit becomes renewed with Him. He aides me in staying not just in my lane but in the righteous lane. Even when I go through what looks like the appearance of death I don’t have to be afraid cause He is right there tending to me. His strength and His support ease me when I’m down. When haters look for me to fall, He pours me out blessings upon blessings and then reassures me that “SURELY” “GOODNESS” and “MERCY” , His dispatched Angels are taggging right along with me every step that I take until God says my day has ended. Then my eternal home with Him shall never ever end.
What this scripture means no matter what even unto death the Lord is guiding me in peace as long as I am focused on Him. Through it all, I will be taken care of. He will not drop me as an orphan in a storm. Even now as this timely devotional Scripture speaks volumes into my heart and situation. Thank you. Blessings, Shalom and Agape 👀🙏🏽♥️📖🙌🏽
The shepherd of my soul, The lover of my soul, The one who goes with me and before me,The one who cares for me, The one who watches out for me, And the one who watches over me ,The one who protects me ,and The one who defends me, The one who fights for me, The only one who supplies all my needs, and No good thing He withhold for me, The one who comforts me,The one who leads me in the right way, The one who vindicate me, The only one who can lift me up above my enemies and show Himself mighty in my life, and never ever leaves me and allows me to rest in the comfort of His loving care.This is my lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the only one who loves me unconditionally
The Lord is my everything ✝️🙏🏾❤️🙌🏾
Before I new what was going to happen to me for about a month or so kept seeing psalms 23 pop up just about in every thing I read so I ask a minister what is god trying to say to me she said have or are you going through something I was like no but every time I read or do something 23 would pop up an what’s crazy my daughter turned 23 that yr an my address was 23 the minster said what ever you going through or fina go through God is with you an your not lone I was let go of the one job I really liked cause someone lied on me but going back to palms 23 lets me no God was gone always be with me an telling me no matter he will always be there
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. What a blessing to know that the Shepherd cares enough to not only assign angels but escorts also to be there when I fall along the way to help me get back on track.
God is our source of protection and we should surrender all to him.
I Shall Not Want
To me this means that God knows ALL OF MY NEEDS and he will supply each and every last one of them! Even when I don’t know or have a clue about how things are going to get done he knows!
I am reassured and convince that God is with me , even though I walk through dark times .i will fear NO evil for my LLRD is with me 🙌🏽
I am reassured and convince that God is with me , even though I walk through dark times .i will fear NO evil for my LORD is with me 🙌🏽
Psalm 23. This beautiful, comforting psalm is an awesome reflection of the close, deeply personal, solid relationship we are able to have with our heavenly Father. The closeness is profound. God watches over us and covers us with His constant presence and protection, all while we stay near to Him abiding under His wings, enjoying His presence and knowing that He is always with us. No matter what we go through, He cares for us, He is close by to us, and He loves us. Our love for Him and His love for us is constant every single day, and that love will be with us throughout all eternity! Praise God! 💞🌷💞🌷🙏🏽💝🙏🏽💝
I love Psalms 23 because it is a complete picture of what life is like when you are led by God Himself. We don’t lack anything, we have peace even when going through the most difficult times. There’s a song that says anxiety hates Psalms 23, because there’s no place for fear when we are surrendered to God. Goodness and mercy shall never leave our side amd all things work out for our good, for His names sake. So profound❤️
What this scripture means to me is that God is with me at all times. Through the good the bad and the ups and the downs He is with me, He will not let me fail. He is assuring me that as I go through life there will be trials and tribulations but don’t be afraid to take steps and stand out even if I’m walking alone. I know that there are some who are against me but do not be afraid just keep doing His mighty works because I am covered and protected.
To me this scripture means that I completely rely and trust in God who is my Shepherd and that I need not fear anything because He has got me on every level and in every area of my life.
I know I am safe in Him.
The Lord is my Shepherd, to me that line stands out because it is the main Outline that covers the rest of the verses. To sums it up, the Lord is saying, I’ll lead you and guide you, all you got to do is follow me. I’ll cover you all the days of your life. And he’s telling us in the passage, there will be some good days and some bad days, some crying days, some mourning days, some fearful days but if you trust me…You’ll see my goodness and mercy, if you just stay with me, all the days of your life. I’ll never leave you nor forsake you because I am your Shepherd.
This whole thing was right on time it just shows me that my abba always gots me is there when I need love comfort protection and even good moments he rejoices with me. That even in the hard He says we will have peace and guidance when the enemy tries to do anything because there is evil all around us that we wouldn’t be touched He shields us that is why we should always be prayed up and suited for the war daily with are armor on. Just like the word says so that we will be able to stand against the wiles of the enemy. Helmet of salvation, sword of the spirit, shield of faith, belt of truth, shows of peace, breastplate of righteousness. Thank u abba for always keeping us!
This scripture, tells me no matter what is happening, YeHoVaH / Yahweh/ God, Yeshua, MessiahHolySpirit/Jesus Christ is with me always. He is holding and directing my steps if I seek HIM.
Thank you Father.
To me, this is my reassurance and affirmation of faith… A promise that God is and always will be my everything; I need not worry. That as long as I walk with Him regardless of my own mortal ability, I will lack nothing. He will provide (I shall not want). He will guide/direct me the right way (in green pastures). He protects (I will fear no evil for he is with me). He forgives and renews me (restores my soul) etc. 🙂
Blessings WOK,

“The Lord is my Shepherd I shall NOT want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.”
Just confirms in a time I need more most that God has all my needs covered now and later and I can rest on that. Hallelujah Thank You Jesus.
Then VS 4-6 helps me remember Again I am not just covered but protected by God Himself so when the enemy feels he has won its only a dream. My divine victory is his awakening

As I walk this journey on earth, I must remember that I am loved and protected by the Lord. I am his lamb and he will guide me through the valley and never leave me. He will protect me. I am his child.
This scripture Paslms 23 is a standard verse that I was taught, learned, and familiarize in childhood into young adulthood. However, Paslms 23 hits different as a adult woman in her 40’s who is going through a journey of The Lord is shepherd, I shall not want. At times I have remind myself that he is the shepherd that will watch over his sheep in uncertainty, struggles, suffering, financial difficulties, etc. This is reminder that he takes care of his sheep always on his timing. He makes me lie down in green pastors. Leads us besides the still waters and restore our souls. I honestly believe this verse is that he wants us to REST in Him in our stress, doubts, worries, concerns. My go too place to getaway is the beach with the ocean. This gives me stillness of the waters with seeing and hearing the waves, sitting in still position to listen to God or REST in Him. God wants us to restore our souls in his word, prayer, worshiping, mediate, sermon messages, and for me is walking to release and to restore. I can go on with this scripture. But these are just my reflections on these verses.
Awesome rock on woman! I love the ocean too, it’s a powerful reminder that yes, he is in control, and he speaks.
I have heard this all my life but that is it, just heard it. This past week I decided to try and memorize it. That led to breaking it down. I will only share what I feel was for me this morning as I am feeling anxious about going to work. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies as well as He leads me by still waters. Thank you lord for your reminder to breath, you are with me. It is finished already!
God will always take care of his children. We don’t have to wonder, be anxious, or fear. All we have to do is give all of cares and worries to him.
What stands out to me is “HE” aka God!
God will look after me in every way possible in all areas of my life. God is my everything and I thank Him, praise Him and love Him with all my being.
Thank You Lord ❤️
What this means to me is that my Father is always with me and I don’t have to fear anything even when fear comes I can walk right through it knowing that I’m not alone. no matter what He’s going to leave me.
What more can we want? This passage basically sums it all up doesn’t it? He takes care of us no matter what, and his hand upon us will not leave no matter what. He is in control, no matter what we’re going through, he is there through and through, thick and thin. And he settles us down. This is amazing. Through the anxiety, through the fear, the uncertainty, and all that comes against us, he has another plan, a way out. He sets a feast before us. If you really want to dig in, Google psalm 23 commentaries, there you will find great interpretations. It’s a life giving, peaceful, stress-free solution to all that we go through. Though we walk through the valley from that mountain we were just on and through the imminent death that shakes us, “Iwill fear no evil God, you are with me always, your hand is ever upon me, I have no need to be shaken, you settle me and lay me down in the grass, in your green pastures.” Just awesome-ness.
The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not lack! I’ve been seeing my family going through the ringer lately so much lack and all I think about is how far they think God is, I just say in my head repent and turn from your wicked ways and they call me crazy or hypocrite because what my life looked before but God had been soo good He’s been leading me in Green pastures and I’ve been in the presence of my enemies eating good, my heart is so fixed on God the peace I have is everlasting. Even when I’m walking through the valley of death, the unknown, shaky ground I TRUST GOD I lean on God as I worship Jesus this morning I am Loved, Chosen and taken care of 🥺 thank you soo much Jesus I love you
This scripture sums up how life is supposed to be lived. That no matter what we are going through GOD is always with us. We just need to know that we are never alone and that we are always winning. There is really nothing to fear because everything is working out for our good.
This Psalm reminds me that God is my comforter and protector. No matter I face in life He is always there beside me to calm my fears.
Psalm 23 says to me God is my everything; HE my Guide, my Protector and my Provider. HE takes me to live in the best place and HE nurtures me in the inside too, in the unseen parts of me. HE doesn’t let harm come to me as well helps me have proper perspective. I will go through tough times but HE never leaves me, I see HIS tools so I know HE is near. HE brings me good things in front of my enemies, they do not overpower me. HE has goodness and mercy following me and I live in HIS house now and forever more.
I love this passage and in the course of last 35-37 years, so very many times, it has helped me keep my focus on HIM and not on me.
Thank you for this time to reflect….as I am going through some stuff but HE is here and has already provided what I need to get to the other side for break though.
God is my Father, the one who knows me fully and attends to my EVERY need, Hallelujah, I don’t have to want for ANYTHING because He’s my provider. He puts me in a place of peacefulness so I can lie down in Him away from everything, He is my safe haven. He leads me in the calmest way always in the right direction, my soul and spirit is constantly restored. No matter that I’m living in a world that’s filled with darkness, He is forever THE LIGHT and through times of valley experiences, He’s ALWAYS with me. I have no reason to ever fear evil because He surrounds me, guides and keeps me. Before those who hates me, He will show Himself strong before them. I can feel secure in His presence and relax because He’s with me forever and ever, Amen!
To God be all the glory!!
Psalm 23. Love Salvation Protection Prosperity Joy Peace. I don’t have to fear because my Lord got me and any and all area of my life.
Thank you my Lord Master and Savior Jesus Christ for Being The Way The Truth and The Life. The Only Way to Abba Father my Daddy God (Blessed Be His Holy Name). Amen and Amen ✝️🙏🛐🕊️
He restores my soul. I’ve read this scripture a lot and this is the first time that this part has meant a lot to me. After leaving an abusive marriage I felt like Job had lost everything but also felt like my soul was in broken or in despair. Reading this now makes me relate to this part of the verse now because it is only God who can do such a deep work that goes to the extent of restoring my soul. Who else can say that they can do that. NO ONE. So I am am going to rest as I let God restore my soul day by day.
This was such a God wink because my MawMaw just told me on the 19th that I should read Psalm 23 every morning and really think on it! Here lately I’ve been giving in to listening to secular music, not reading God’s word daily, and just indulging in self centeredness!! all of this has caused a sense of unrest within me, so what sticks out to me in this verse is “He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” It reminds me that the source of my anxiety is simply not reading God’s word, not spending time with Him in prayer, and giving into self-indulgence and sin. Any time I’m trying to fill a void within myself with anything other than through prayer and God’s word – it’s going to grieve the Holy Spirit and cause anxiety and restlessness because nothing can give my soul rest – only Jesus!! It also reminds me that God leads us in the path of righteousness for HIS NAMES SAKE! If I truly want to golify God with my life and experience His peace and walk in the spirit then what I do in my life will reflect that. And if my life does not reflect that … I will feel empty, confused, emotionally unstable, and lost. BUT when I focus on God and seek Him with my whole heart – He gives my soul rest, I feel grounded and secure. I feel confident and at peace and I’m able to make God-centered decisions that honor Him, help me have peace and sense of purpose, and also shows those around me that walking with God gives a life of grace, salvation, hope, encouragement, peace, and purpose!!
No matter what trials and turmoil come my way, God is with me ever step of the way. He and his heavenly armies went ahead of me and decleared victory over every situation!!
Psalm 23 reminds me that God has a detailed plan for me and each leg of the journey, no matter the circumstances, He is right there with me ensuring I make to my appointed destiny
God will and is protecting me. I all I need to do is have faith and walk by it and not by sight.
This Psalm cover our entire walk of life. He is our source of every single thing in life. We can look to him to sustain us. He will bring us out.
One of my favorites, just ask God for Your wants and needs . He’s. Always with me,I have nothing to fear sometimes the road is tuff God is tight here with me I will make it to my appointed destiny but I must hold on to God’s unchanging hand trust faith. Obey his words God has me in his hands walks with me always. Thank you Abba Father JESUS I THANK YOU AMEN GLORY HALLELUJAH JESUS AMEN!!!!!!!t
I always imagine walking up right with our Heavenly Father this brings me joy, My truth I was in a dark place in my life for so many years I even subjected my children in my messy lifestyle and wrong choices, I’m delivered and save , and a change women now .
Psalm 23 is powerful to know I have a shepherd in my life all the long He walk me threw the valley I couldn’t have done myself, I remember being surrounded by enemies God keep me close to Him , I love Psalm 23 in my troubles time this prayer brought me the a mi long ways💕
I’m so Greatful God didn’t leave me or forsake me or my family and His people 🙏🏿🌹🙏🏿
For me this means that nothing outside of me can shake the inside of me. Sometimes situations arise and the calmer you are in knowing that everything will work out in your favor, stronger you become. There have been times when I wasn’t living according to Gods will for my life, I made some poor decisions and God still protected me from evil. This caused me to reflect on my life and I realized I’d been surrounded by danger a few times and yet I wasn’t harmed. Only The Most high can do that. Stay blessed
I am on my break, and I look to read today’s devotional, and I am wowed!
I just had my students do this in class today. Glory to Gooood!
After they shared, I shared with them personally how Psalms 23:3 popped out to me in a way that it never has. Holy Spirit said to me through this scripture that he leads me in righteousness and delivers me from sin for “HIS NAME’s sake! He does it because His name is on the line. I am His child and a representative of Him in the earth. So when I say I am a Christian, He wants me to be reflecting Him properly to the world. He leads me in the paths of righteousness, so that the way I live can preach Christ and draw them to God with a burning desire to know Him.
The Lord is my all and all. I lost my daughter 10 years ago and 8 months later my husband leaves after 30 years. I was depressed grieving and angry for all the pain I endured through this year. God held me close I abandoned him but he never left me. A friend led me back to him reminding me of his love , Grace and Mercy
