My life, like the Psalmist’s, must simply be one of obedience to GOD!
I acknowledge You LORD as my Shepherd therefore I lack nothing. You are my Provider of everything. LORD, You are totally reliable, knowledgeable, and all-giving. You are my Protector and the Shield of my life. You are the great lover of my soul. Mindful of the character of my LORD, I give up my independence to Him. I say to Him, “I 'll let You tell me and I will obey. I’ll let You signal and I’ll follow. Just say it LORD and I’ll do it!”
The verses 2-3 express my total obedience to whatever You want to tell me LORD. LORD, You tell me rest and I comfortably “lie down in green pastures” in obedience. You led me to the green pastures. You know my nervousness and my need to become, and remain, calm. So, You tell me to follow You. I follow you, and You “lead me beside quiet waters.” How relaxing it becomes when I look and there is stillness. My mind is put at ease and I think nothing but peaceful thoughts. I experience Your peace which transcends all understanding. My soul has no longing for anything. It is not troubled or torn up out of fear. It is not challenged with, or for, earthly issues. Nothing bothers me. I forget everything because I am in Your presence. Restoration of my soul is my portion. My life rejuvenates!
You guide me. I fear nothing!
I look and You are guarding me. So, darkness brings more rest time with hopes and expectation of a better tomorrow. When I wake, You provide a well prepared table to satiate my physical needs in spite of the challenges of the world system. You provide soothing balm on my head to quiet my nerves and shield me from the cares of the world. As usual, I lack nothing! There is much more than I need. I can share Your generosity. I can only think about the pluses of life and enjoy what You have given me. It is good! Where else would I want to be than in Your presence forever.
LORD, I say, “You are my Shepherd – my Guide and Guard – I shall not want. I will obey you.”
