Psalm 23 - Soul Musings

Ah, the protector of my soul is God Almighty. It is impossible that my needs will not be met.
When I am weary, tired and hungry; he guides me to the perfect place for rest and nourishment.
When my inner man is parched and fainting, he brings me to the calming river of life where I can drink deeply without fear.
God Almighty has taken responsibility for encouraging my soul. He understands the pitfalls of sin and leads me down the path of his righteous ways to protect me. After all, he has coupled the fame of his name with the salvation of my soul.
Look, even when it seems he is against me because death is near or I wish to die to escape the dark valleys of human experience; I cannot, must not fear that evil is destroying me. I must remember the relationship between his name and my soul; he is with me. My ear has become open to the benefits of his correction. Lord, I will speak to you now rather than just about you. I see your love and support for me as you restrict my inclinations to wander into unrighteousness.
Even though I am surrounded by enemies to my soul, you have brought understanding to my heart so they they do not influence me; I see your secure care and provision for me.
You have not only provided for me, you have blessed me beyond the ability to measure.
You have adopted me and opened your storehouse of blessings to me; my emotions burst with joy when I consider your attentiveness and commitment to me.
I have become fully persuaded that your covenant keeping love has sought me out and will continue to pursue me down every road and pathway of life. When I consider your thoughts toward me, I am left to conclude all my musings with this simple truth; I will spend eternity with you.

  1. I am sorry, but I don't know how to send you a message. Are you Brother Wilkenson the pastor in Kankakee. If not, who are you? That is if you don't mind.
