"THE LORD IS GOD OUR GOD THE LORD IS ONE." (Deuteronomy 6:4)

 Psalm 63 + Psalm 23 +

A MEDITATION 

JESUS says in John 16:13 "He (the Holy Spirit) will guide you into all Truth."

"O GOD, You are my Strong God (God Almighty)/Genesis 17:1-2).      Early will I seek You.                                                                              My soul thirsts for You, my flesh longs for You in a dry and thirsty land where is no water.                                                                            So I have looked for You in the sanctuary, to see Your power and Your Glory.                                                                                                        Because Your lovingkindness is better than life; my lips shall praise You, thus  I will bless You while I live.  I will lift up my hands in Your Name.   (Your "Name is above every name.")/Philippians 2:9).

My soul shall be satisfied as with Your abundance - (Your love and Presence beyond what we would dream or would dare ask)/Ephesians   3:19-20); and my mouth shall praise You with joyful lips.

When I remember You on my bed, I lay awake thinking of You, meditating on You through the night.

Because You have been my help, therefore I will rejoice (dance, leap, and sing for joy)/ Habakkuk 3:18.

My soul follows close behind You, Your right hand upholds me ("For I am your God - I will uphold you with My righteous right hand"./Isaiah 41:10).

But those who seek my life, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.  They shall fall by the sword, they shall be food for the jackals.

But I shall rejoice in God. Everyone who binds himself by GOD'S authority, acknowledging His supremacy, and devoting himself to His glory, and serving HIM alone; every such one shall PRAISE HIM; but the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped."    

Oh Lord Jesus!!!  Because You ("The good Shepherd"/John 10:11) are my Shepherd - I will not lack anything that I truly need (Luke 12:22-32). 

You make me lie down in green pastures.  I rest in You; You, "the fountain of living waters"/Revelation 21:6) lead me by the waters of rest.  (Come to Me, I will ease and relieve and restore your soul/"Return to your rest, O my soul, for the Lord has dealt bountifully with you,/Psalm 116:7).

You ("the Way"/John 14:6) lead me in paths of righteousness for Your Name's sake.  Lord Jesus "...You became for us wisdom and righteousness from God."/1 Corinthians 1:30. 

Yes, O Lord, though I walk THROUGH the VALLEY of the SHADOW of death - You ("the LIGHT"/John 8:12) won the victory on the HILL of Calvary for each and every one of us,,,You are "...with us always"/Matthew 28:20). Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.  (You, the "God of all comfort.."/2 Corinthians 1:3) guide me and protect me.

You (the "Living Bread Who came down from Heaven"/John 6:51) prepare a table for me - at which I may partake of the Blessings provided by Your Death and Resurrection - by believing in You/ John 6:53-58.

"You anoint my head with oil - as Samuel anointed David the shepherd boy with oil-giving to him the wisdom, strength, and a heart for worship - equipping him to be the king of Israel /1 Samuel 16:13).  JESUS was a descendant of David; one of JESUS' names is "Son of David"/Luke 18:38.                                                                                   "But to the Son (Jesus), God says 'God, Your God, has anointed You"/ Hebrews 1:8-9.

"My cup runs over with Your Blessings - so the Table is wet - the table runs over - so the floor is wet - so my shoes are wet...OH! that I may always walk in Your anointing!!!

Surely Your goodness and mercy shall follow me ("Your mercies... are new every morning/Lamentations 3:22-23. and "they endure from everlasting to everlasting"/Psalm 103:17;  and I will dwell with You in Your house - in the new Jerusalem/Heaven forever"/Revelation 21:10).

"The city (New Jerusalem) has no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of GOD illuminates it.  The Lamb is its light.  (Revelation 21:23).

"Even so, come, LORD JESUS!"  PLEASE read this aloud for 8 days.  You will be richly Blessed!!!                                                                   AMEN.
