God's Promises

While I am in the waiting room, I am preparing. Psalm 23 is a very memorable passage for many people. I have been reading it since last Sunday. Such a beautiful passage of God's promises for His people. Here is the passage from The Message:

Psalm 23: A David Psalm

^1-3 God, my shepherd! I don't need a thing.

You have bedded me down in lush meadows,

you find me quiet pools to drink from.

True to your word,

you let me catch my breath

and send me in the right direction.

⁴ Even when the way goes through

Death Valley,

I'm not afraid

when you walk at my side.

Your trusty shepherd's crook

makes me feel secure.

⁵ You serve me a six-course dinner

right in front of my enemies.

You revive my drooping head;

my cup brims with blessing.

⁶ Your beauty and love chase after me

every day of my life.

I'm back home in the house of God

for the rest of my life.
