"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want." - Psalm 23:1
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
This the first verse that came up in my mind this 2012. I know that God speaks to me through this. I believe 2011 for me is a year full of worries, I always think of what will happen to me in the future that I am not able to live at the present time. My bestfriend, and boyfriend can attest it. I worry a lot that I begin to always tell God what I want in the future. But the verse in Psalm 23:1 reminded me that it is the Lord who rule over my life, it is Jesus Christ who is leading the course of my life that I do not need to worry and to be in want. This 2012, I am claiming the promises in Psalms 23.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
Indeed, the goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life as I cling and hang on to the guidance and leading of my Lord Jesus Christ. 2012 is a year where I will dwell in the house of the Lord. The Lord is my Shepherd.
