In Hymn we trust

I think the Bible is the most creative and intuitive piece or writing ever. 
It has a magical talent of igniting your bones but only during specific times of the day, month, year, and/or even lifetime. I happened to experience this special juncture occasion about 23 hours ago. He is with me and waits to surprise me right when I have no faith in myself with how I handle my faith, by graciously having faith in me. 

This Psalm is ridiculous and every word makes my insides spark. He knows what we need and he knows where to lead and to think I didn't get the whole shepherd thing until 23 hours and 49 minutes ago. 



PSALM 23

  The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

  He makes me lie down in green pastures, 
       he leads me beside quiet waters,

  he restores my soul. 
       He guides me in paths of righteousness 
       for his name's sake.

  Even though I walk 
       through the valley of the shadow of death, 
       I will fear no evil, 
       for you are with me; 
       your rod and your staff, 
       they comfort me.

  You prepare a table before me 
       in the presence of my enemies. 
       You anoint my head with oil; 
       my cup overflows.

  Surely goodness and love will follow me 
       all the days of my life, 
       and I will dwell in the house of the LORD 
       forever.
