Aww, we have reached a very recognized and known chapter in the book of Psalms. Chapter 23 and the blessings it contains.
Chapter 23:1-6 NLT “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
He lets 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 staff protect and comfort me.
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..”
The Lord is my shepherd.
A shepherd leads, watches over, provides for, and protects his sheep. We are Jesus’ sheep, we belong to him.
I have all that I need.

He leads me to rest.

When I walk in darkness, I will not be afraid.
Isaiah 41:10 NLT “Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my right hand.”
My cup overflows with blessings.
