    • Ps 23: a Go To Psalm
      • The Lord is my shepherd;
        there is nothing I lack.
        2 He lets me lie down in green pastures;
        He leads me beside quiet waters.
        3 He renews my life;
        He leads me along the right paths[a]
        for His name’s sake.
        4 Even when I go through the darkest valley,[b]
        I fear no danger,
        for You are with me;
        Your rod and Your staff[c]—they comfort me.
      • You prepare a table before me
        in the presence of my enemies;
        You anoint my head with oil;
        my cup overflows.
        6 Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me
        all the days of my life,
        and I will dwell in[d] the house of the Lord
        as long as I live.[e]

Hi!

“The Lord does not give me rules, but He makes His standard very clear.
If my relationship to Him is that of love, I will do what He says without hesitation.
If I hesitate, it is because I love someone I have placed in competition with Him, namely, myself.” – from My Utmost for His highest
