Devotion:
Read Psalm 23.
When we allow God to shepherd us in life, the first verse of this Psalm sums up our life: “I lack nothing.” This Psalm reminds us to be aware of what we receive from God. He gives us rest, calmness, and strength. He provides direction, companionship, comfort, daily needs, and protection. As the Good Shepherd he freely gives to us these gifts and it is our responsibility to follow Him. It is when we wander off the path that life can become unruly but the Good Shepherd pursues us and draws us back to himself. He promises to guide and protect us throughout life and bring us into his home forever.
Personal Worship Option:
On a piece of paper write out Psalm 23. Slip it into your pocket or your purse. Or tuck it between your phone and your phone case. Then read it a few times throughout the day. Let God’s Word wash over you and comfort you.
