Psalm 23

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.

I know why people tend to quote this passage when something horrible is going on (I still remember watching Titanic and they were quoting the 23rd Psalm)...after you read it it really is calming to the soul...God is with us through it all and this passage just reminds us of that.

And seriously...I have no idea why it won't let me post these verses right...I have them all nicely broken up...just how you should read them...and then I publish and it's one long paragraph. I'll have to keep working on it I guess.

Hope you all have a great week!

I agree it's comforting. And reading it today was much needed for me.
