Psalm 23

 

Psalm 23 (NKJV)

The Lord the Shepherd of His People

A Psalm of David

         The Lord is my Shepherd;

         I shall not want.

         He makes me to lie down in

                 Green pastures;

         He leads me beside the still waters.

         He restores my soul;

         He leads 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 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 runs over.

         Surely goodness and mercy

                 Shall follow me

         All the days of my life;

         And I will dwell in the

                 House of the Lord

         Forever.


I hope reading this Psalm and reflecting on it give you peace today. I'm struggling with worrying over Biden sending people to our homes to pressure us into getting the jab, and whatever happens after that. This Psalm reminds me that Jesus is holding me in his hands, like a sheep, and He is with me no matter what dark place I go into.

Some departing thoughts to wrap up this blog and assurance in the future there will be another blog :)

  Dear Reader – Thanks for sticking it out with me the past year. Has it been a year since I started this blog? Wow.   I was inspired, still had a manic buzz, zealous, and kinda crazy. I’m unfortunately none of those things anymore… well the crazy part is in the air, but people that know me might say I’ve always been crazy… as much as I wanted to teach, at the moment I feel inadequate in that role.   It seems what I used to be sure of I’m not sure of anymore, and what I think I believe now I need to solidify, and it’s hard to make time to really study the way I’d like to. I mean I love breaking out my concordance with the Greek and Hebrew definitions, and, there’s so much more history I’d like to know.   I think about this blog a lot, like so much. And mostly I can’t think of anything to write. The few times I do think of something to write, I can’t find the time to write. Which is so sad, I left working full time to work part time and have time, but my part ti...

First song from my journal

  ****Note, I do not think I am manic anymore. This was a few months ago. Whether I am crazy or not is for you to determine. This is simply a good chunk of my experience in the hospital.****  ****There is no purgatory, that line was clever lyrics, but this life is the only chance you have to accept Christ.**** 3-22-21 Yes Lord It’s True I may be manic still My mind wants to go go go may be manic still I’ll take my meds Even though Don’t want to Don’t think I need to But yes I need to Yes that I must do People do not want me to go They want me to stay Sane Not go away Unless the Rapture Happens Then that’s okay Jesus where are you Come quickly you know Antonio I love you so Why did you go Where did you go Yes I want to know Gave you my number To call And have yours but Yours doesn’t work So call me please Yes when you can Don’t want to worry About you Antonio I love you so You’ve got the prophecies For safe keeping...

Dang it it's back

 Spirit husband began attacking last night. I knew it was coming. But, pray that I can take authority again over it. I was in the best position in February March and April of last year. But I was also in the hospital in February and scared mom to death, and mom now associates these  beliefs with me going crazy. I did find an American woman with a deliverance ministry, so you can pray the online course I signed up to take with her would be effective. It's different. I need a mentality shift. Maybe I'm too discouraged with this. I give up the fight because it seems I never win. I'm really just tired.  So pray for me, I thought 2021 was the year the battle would resolve and I'd find victory. Maybe it will be an ongoing battle. Which is fine if I'm equipped to fight. That's where I'm failing in the battle. There's chinks in my armor. My faith is weak. I'm spiritually depleted from being so busy and not praying or reading scripture.  Okay... I guess I...
