Comfort in God’s Presence
Psalm 23:1-4 (NIV) The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
Commentary: This beloved Psalm depicts God as a caring shepherd who provides for, guides, and protects His flock. It’s a source of comfort, illustrating God’s constant presence and care, even in the darkest times.
