S – The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Psalms 23:1–3 ESV
O – A: This is one of the most widely known scriptures in the Bible. Here are some observations and applications:
– God cares for and takes care of us. His leading us fills our needs. Like a shepherd who nurtures his flocks, we can grow to our fullest potential under his nurturing leadership.
– He gives us rest and quiets the noise. Life is busy and chaotic at times. Our relationship with God gives us solace from the distractions and allows our minds to be at peace.
– He replenishes us spiritually. We are physically human but we have a spirit man as well. God’s spirit speaks to our spirit and renews it.
– He leads us in ways that will make us more like his character. We exist to have relationship with him and be part of his family.
R – Heavenly Father, you are a big and unlimited God. Thank you for loving and caring for us in all aspects of our lives. You lead, care for and replenish us. We surrender today to you and step closer to you in relationship.
