PSALM 23

The Lord is my Shepherd (that's relationship)
I shall not want (that's supply)
He makes me to lie down in green pastures (that's rest)
He leads me beside the still waters (that's refreshment)
He restores my soul (that's healing)
He leads me in the paths of righteousness (that's guidance)
For His name sake (that's purpose)
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death (that's testing)
I will fear no evil (that's protection)
For Thou art with me (that's faithfulness)
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me (that's discipline)
Thou prepares a table before me in the presence of
my enemies (that's hope)
Thou annoints my head with oil (that's consecration)
My cup runs over (that's abundance)
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life (that's blessing)
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord (that's security)
Forever (that's Eternity)

PRAISE THE LORD

Thank you for a lovely post but what are you doing up at 2.54am?!!!

I would love to use this in our church magazine, if I may?

Hi Elizabeth - you are very welcome to use this in your church magazine. In our kitchen we have a notice board with different scriptures on and photos of people to pray for, etc. Psalm 23 has been on the board for roughly 3 years now - I have no idea where it came from but I do know that it is extremely inspirational. If I remember rightly the author was listed as 'Anon' which I am presuming means annoymous. I do hope it will encourage others in your church.
Thanks again for dropping by. Carol x

Phoebe - I am not really up at such a time!! I wrote this this morning at around 10.30am - I just haven't managed to set my timer correctly yet! You're right though- it looks like I up at all hours of the morning!!
Happy weekend. Carol x

Carol,
What a wonderful heartwarming way to personalize it to us!! You have touched my heart with your post. Our Lord is sooo amazing!!! I heard a Christian history teacher that gives tours in Israel(hope to go there one day) once say that the "cup" is a stone manger that they would water the animals; that the "runs over" means it never empties; it is always full to the rim.
I would love to put this on my prayer board(like yours it has people that we pray for).
I guess my comment is a little long. :)
I really would enjoy sitting with you over a warm cup of tea or coffee.

How do I see what the award is?

Sorry you are having trouble with your computer. Technology, don't you just love it.?
The Award: just visit my blog and scroll down a bit to 31 July 2008 and there is your award. Just copy and paste to your computer e-pics(pictures) and then go to "customize" then "add a page element".
Hope your weekend is blessed!
Miriam :)

Carol,
I just right clicked my mouse of my computer; copied and then paste to my computer folders "e-pictures". These are folders that stay on your computer.
Then I went back to the top of my blog page and pressed "customize" and there is an "add a page element" and at the top of that window it says "Choose a New Page element" then look on there for "Picture" to add from your computer, click "Add to blog".
It will bring up a browse your computer for pictures, click on the award(that you copied and pasted). It will ask for a title (I put Awards). The link is my blog address. (I put Tina's on mine, because she was the one who gave one to me). You can see mine on my sidebar.
I hope this helps. I had to have a go at it by myself(kind of a hit and miss :). LOL. My son is the computer genius and he wasn't here to help me.
Have a blessed day,
Miriam :)
