Memorial Weekend Sunday – Psalm 23

Psalm 23 –  A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd, 
     I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
     he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
     He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley
     I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
     You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
     and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

What having “the Lord as my Shepherd” means for us:

         1.  We are no longer captive to our endless desires.

         2. We have peace in every situation.
