The 23rd Psalm: A response 🌹

Psalms 23:1-6  Yahuah is my shepherd; I shall not want.

When I stop resisting and let go of control everything that is appointed for me will be mine.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

I can let go of control. I can rest knowing that even through troubled waters, the waters will be at peace with me.

He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

My soul became bruised through circumstance. A lost wandering universe dweller I was. I was found on my sick bed and was led down a clearer path because I was chosen for this. 

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

At times in my life, I had no direction. Through experience and expression, I learned to not walk in fear. I know that in the darkest points in my life something was being created and I still was able to see through it. My vision had to be adjusted to the darkness for a season. The words of life have kept me In Yah.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

My table is being prepared right now even though I don't see it. The blessings are mine because it's appointed for me. It's the law of nature that after every storm, a rainbow will show up. I may not get to see it every time but it's there. My cup is running over and over again with life.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow I all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of Yahuah forever.

When I rest in the presence of my creator, I can know that even though I may not understand the whys and hows of it all I know it will be okay. Even when things are falling apart things will be okay because I have this power that was gifted to me. The power of choice, the power to walk in purpose, the power to forgive, and the power to love. And these are the things that I will fight to dwell in...forever🌹

I want to thank my mother. She is the one who taught me this Psalm when I was 12 years old. When I was afraid I could read this. I would keep this Psalm under my pillow every night and say it as a prayer. ❤ I'm forever grateful❤
