Psalm 23 - An
Analysis
This is an
eye opener; probably we never thought nor looked at this Psalm in this way, even
though we say it over and over again.
The Lord is my Shepherd (That's Relationship)
I shall not want (That's Supply)
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures (That's Rest)
He leadeth me beside the still waters (That's Refreshment)
He restoreth my soul (That's Healing)
He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness (That's Guidance)
For His name sake (That's Purpose)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (That's Testing)
I will fear no evil (That's Protection)
For Thou art with me (That's Faithfulness)
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies (That's Hope)
Thou annointest my head with oil (That's Consecration)
My cup runneth over (That's Abundance)
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life (That's
Blessing)
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord (That's Security)
Forever (That's Eternity!)
Face it, the Lord is crazy about you.
