PSALM TO ENJOY

May 5.        Psalms ch 21-24. 

PSALM TO ENJOY

Yahweh is my best friend and my shepherd. I always have more than enough. He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss. That’s where he restores and revives my life. He opens before me the right path and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name. Even when your path takes me through the valley of deepest darkness, fear will never conquer me, for you already have! Your authority is my strength and my peace. The comfort of your love takes away my fear. I’ll never be lonely, for you are near. You become my delicious feast even when my enemies dare to fight. You anoint me with the fragrance of your Holy Spirit; you give me all I can drink of you until my cup overflows. So why would I fear the future? Only goodness and tender love pursue me all the days of my life. Then afterward, when my life is through, I’ll return to your glorious presence to be forever with you!

Psalms 23:1‭-‬6 TPT

GOOD DAY: Look at this psalm and see yourself in it. Believe all it says about you no matter what your senses are telling you and live in the joy of it. I struggled with the fact that God is my best friend for a long time because of what life throws at me but with time, the comfort and joy and help that I receive from Him convinced me that He is my best friend and this psalm is true.

This third verse of the hymn BEGONE UNBELIEF became my anchor

3. His love in time past forbids me to think

He'll leave me at last in trouble to sink;

While each Ebenezer I have in review

Confirms his good pleasure to help me quite through.

The Yoruba translation is so reassuring.

3. Ife t’o nfi han ko je ki nro pe,

Y’o fi mi sile ninu wahala;

Iranwo ti mo si nri lojojumo,

O nki mi laiya pe, emi o la ja.

PRAY: Dear Lord, keep me focused on Your love for me.
