The 23rd Psalm
This Psalm is so anointed as we can look to it for direction for the future and solidarity of the past….For The LORD is our shepherd, what more can we want. He makes us to rest in the abundance of his Love as we graze on his goodness. He guides us in times of trouble and stills our fears … the ripples of life’s waters he calms. He restores our souls and gives us a renewed hope as he leads us in his word of righteousness for his names sake. And yes, we will all walk through the silhouette and shadow of the end of our lives, but yet we will have no fear of evil for he will be with us even unto the end. His prompting us gently … oh what a comfort he is to me. Who else can set us at the table with our enemy as they look upon us with admiration as we glow with the oil of gladness … none but He, none but He! Our trophy is in him and the joy of his glory runs from the top of our head to the bottom of our feet … our cup runneth over. Surely goodness, mercy and forgiveness shall pursue us all the days of our lives … and we will inhabit the presence of the LORD forever. Amen

Probably one of the most heartfelt and most memorized scriptures of the Bible is the 23rd Psalm. When nothing is left to say at the passing of a dear loved one, we resolve to the 23rd Psalms as this passage says it all when no human words can convey our hearts.
The LORD is my shepherd I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;
he leadeth me beside the still waters,
He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me
in the paths of righteousness for his name’s Sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For Thou are with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies;
Thou anointest My head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life;
and I will dwell In the house of the LORD for ever.
