MELT MY ♥ Daily Dose - Psalm 23 - Feeling Desolate?

MELT MY ♥ Daily Dose - Psalm 23 (NIV)

Feeling Desolate today or are you devastated about a situation?  It's Ok...  Remember that God is in control. Psalm 23 is my go-to Psalm.  In moments where you are too down or grieved to pray and cannot even articulate yourself, read & meditate on Psalm 23.  It is a prayer of reassurance that no matter what, God's got you.  David wrote this Psalm as a Shepard boy.  His job was to care for his flock, keep them nourished, away from harm, guiding them to graze through great pastures.  When they eat poisonous grass or even get hurt, the Shepard is there to make sure they re-cover and get back on track.  David used this experience as a metaphor to write this Psalm.  God is to us as a Shepard is to his flock.  He is there for us even when he seems silent.  Meditate on this Psalm and keep your head up.  As long as you have a pure heart the battle is not yours.  Dust it off and keep your head up.  Life goes on... We live & learn.  Do not allow any circumstance to break you.  God's got ya ♥

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.

AMEN ♥
