Psalm 23 – says it all
The Lord is my Shepherd (relationship)
I shall not want (supply)
He makes me to lie down in green pastures (rest)
He leads me beside the still waters (refreshment)
He restores my soul (healing)
For His names’ sake ((purpose)
Yea, though I walk through the valley – of the shadow of death (testing)
I will fear no evil (protection)
For You are with me (faithfulness)
Your rod and Your staff comfort me (discipline)
You prepare a table before me, in the presence of my enemies (hope)
You anoint my head with oil (consecration)
My cup runs over (abundance)
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life (blessing)
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (security)
In times of trial or testing, all we can do is “hang in there” and “hang on” to God, because if we do not have faith that He is ready, willing and able to help us – what else is there – surely all that is left is utter despair – and that is not a good or nice place to be!
Prayer: We do not understand how Your Way works – all we know is that
it does, and we are thankful for that. Grant us, Father, the wisdom to
hear You and trust in You and all that You provide; only then will we be
equipped to take the next right step and take one day at a time. Amen!
