Psalm 23 (3 of 3)

You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil.  My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me     all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord     forever.     Psalm 23:5-6

God called David a man after His own heart. He said that David would do anything He wanted him to do. When we have the same desire to please God that David did, God will provide for us above and beyond. Not only the material items, but emotionally, and spiritually as well.

God has an undying amount of love, mercy, and grace for us. So much that we can't use it up in one day. It says "all the days of my life", because each day starts new. Each day God wipes the slate clean and gives us a new day full of forgiveness, mercy, grace, and love. Nobody here on earth can do that for you, and nobody ever will.

When we accept his gifts, we are not only in His family, but will one day live with Him in His house We will one day be hanging out with God, Jesus, and all the believers.......forever.

Psalm 23 (2 of 3)

t2  He let's me rest in green meadows;

     He leads me beside peaceful streams.

     He renews my strength.

He guides me along right paths,

     bringing honor to His name.

Even when I walk

     through the darkest valley,

I will not be afraid,

     for You are close beside me.

Your rod and your staff

     protect and comfort me.
Psalm 23:2-4

When we have a right relationship with God, regardless of any obstacles put in our paths, He will provide us with a sense of peace nothing can match. We can be at an all time low in our lives, but somehow be at peace knowing that He will provide a way out.

God doesn't tell us anywhere in the Bible that the Christian life is going to be easy. In fact, He tells us the opposite. He tells us that there will be pain, suffering, and hardships. 

The good news is, our relationship with God is our way out. If we listen to Him, He will lead us out of our dark valleys, and back to His peaceful streams.
