Day of Praise

Th, 07/11/13, "Day of Praise"

"The Lord is my Shepherd..." - Psalm 23:1

My Dad, Ben DeGreen, Sr., is having a heart procedure today. Please pray for him. God's Word doesn't need my help or commentary today or any day to minister to my dad or to you or to anyone. So, here's God's Word that God put on my heart to encourage my parents and all of you, who have something in front of you today that is creating a little anxiety or fear or concern in your heart. "Read it" as a prayer for your day and for others. Read it prayerfully. Savor every single one of God's words. Do not guzzle it. In essence, as a wise man once told me, "Pray the Scriptures."

Psalm 23 -
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy[e] shall
follow me
all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

Amen.

Praise God!
