Devotion:
Read Psalm 23.
Let’s try something “off the wall” that may help reinforce our appreciation for this Psalm. Try writing the opposite of what it shares. That might go something like this:
Satan is my shepherd; I’m always wanting something.
He never lets me rest, is always pushing me to do more.
He has me in a raging river all the time; my soul in a constant uproar.
He’s always tempting me down the wrong path.
When I go through tough times, I feel like I am all alone;
you’re certainly no help.
With you, I’m hungry all the time and live in constant fear.
You anoint my head with a crown of thorns; my cup is always empty.
Surely despair and hatred will follow and fill me all the days of my life
and I will never find a home.
Personal Worship Option:
With that jarring alternative in mind, offer a prayer of thanksgiving to God for the affirmation that Psalm 23 provides.
