The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul. Psalm 23: 1-3
Commentaries believe that Psalm 23 was written later in King David’s life. If you haven’t read anything about David, let’s say that he had a lot of experiences just like you or I…lust, murder, disobedience but in the end he returned to God and became a man like God.
And so we can learn from David. This Psalm tells us that the Lord will bring a time of quiet into our lives (after we decide to give up the old ways) and that He will restore our souls. I find that so peaceful and promising.
Today’s is a short devotion but I hope you can have peace in knowing that there will come a time of rest and reflection in your life. God wants you to have a full and meaningful life with no regrets – we just need to be willing to give up the addiction or hurt or hang-up. I gave mine up — are you ready?
