How encouraged I am with Psalm 23. This is my assurance
and comfort today. These days of trial and emotional turmoil have
plagued me and have brought me to a place of distress. But though weeping may endure for a night, joy comes in the morning. *
The Lord is my shepherd, and I lack nothing. He makes me lie
down in green pastures of peace and rest. He is restoring my soul - my
mind, soul and emotions. He guides by His Word and by His Holy Spirit
and I am righteous in His sight, in Christ Jesus.
And so now I perceive these days in the valley of the shadow of
death as being a part of my journey along the path of recovery. I don't
have to fear, as stinking thinking has told me to, because I'm not
stuck and this is not my destination. He's with me and we're going
somewhere. The Lord's rod and His staff (His Word and His Spirit)
comfort me and protect me and are correcting and directing my paths and
are ordering my steps, and He's orchestrating my healing, hallelujah.
He anoints my head - my thoughts, with the oil of gladness and
they are blessed. My cup, the loving cup of my heart, overflows with
joy! Surely goodness and mercy will follow me, as Jeremiah 29:11
promises, there is a reason to hope and my future is bright. Amen!
*Psalm 30:5
