“ The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.”
— Psalm 23:1-3
King James Version of the Bible
GOD THINGS
PsalmS 23:1-3 … p. 2
These are the words easily remembered and ofttimes quoted, in part because of their beauty of phrasing and melodic tone. They are words that comfort us and offer hope.
More importantly though, Psalm 23 is a promise from God that He is with us always, guiding and protecting us through the shoals of life with His love. Equally, Psalm 23 is one where God invites us to have a relationship — even more, a kinship — with Him in order that we may come to know Him, thus to know as well the “still waters” of peace within.
Fundamental to our coming to know God is the restoration of our soul, for this, our soul, is God within us. The restoration of our soul which, in effect, is finding that which was lost in the journey of life, is synonymous with Knowing God, believing in Him with steadfast faith and doing His will for His Glory. As for the latter, God’s will is made known to us through our faith.
