Rediscovering Psalm 23

How many times have I read Psalm 23? Hundreds!

But this time, it took me a week to get through the first two verses:

The Lord is my Shepherd. I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED.

I was done. If God is leading and supplying my life, 'I HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED.'

A few days later, exhausted, discouraged, beaten-down, I took up verse two (without the antecedents):

"He lets me rest...."

"He leads..."

"He renews..."

"He guides..."

Forget about everything else.

I have everything I need because He lets me rest, He leads, He renews, He guides>
