His Spirit will work deliverances.Īnd so what I sense is a kinder, gentler God, a God who wants to be intimate in his communication with us. God is going to answer many prayers this day. God wants to comfort his people, to make sense of their experiences and circumstances to them.

That God has surmised that all of our situations and circumstances are locatable within the premises of the verses of this psalm. It would mean therefore that God has located everyone of us in the ecclesiastical collective within the square dimensions of Psalm 23. For I am a man brimming with revelation of the arcane intricacies of the word of God. Our message will be simple, for it is the Spirit himself who impressed this message upon my heart and this despite the many options of the esoterica of the infinite dimensions of the word I would have loved to share. Six is the number of labour, the number of struggles. It is the number of imperfection and human weakness in Biblical numerology. The number “6” as you well know is the number of man. And to confirm the fact that this psalm is written from the perspective of man, the psalm has only six verses. And so we see God deflecting attention from himself to enumerate things from our perspective so that his word captures our frailties, feelings and fears – that it may come to pass that which was written, that “we do not have a high priest who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities.” (Hebrews 4:15). What is interesting however, is that the psalm is not written from his perspective rather it is written from the window level of human vista. Now, the identity of the subject matter of Psalm 23 is not hidden. And so we see the love, care and responsibilities of Jesus the Christ as the Shepherd of our souls in this evocative trilogy. In Psalm 23, we see the Great Shepherd tending his flock, and in Psalm 24, we see the Chief Shepherd rewarding his flock. In Psalm 22, we see the Good Shepherd giving his life for the sheep. It is the second in a trilogy of messianic psalms, sandwiched as it were between its precedent, Psalm 22, and its antecedent Psalm 24. Our text is the well-known Psalm 23, popularly referred to as the Shepherd’s Psalm. It was penned circa 1,020 BC, give or take a few decades. It is one of the most powerful contributions to human literature. Scriptures of Encouragement ~ Strong Cords of Fait.Our text is a very famous text.

'Lord, I want to honor You in all things. I will rest and be filled up with His love so I may continue to sing His praises and tell of His Salvation. I will curl up beneath the shadow of His wing and rest. When I want to throw up or give up, I will hasten to His throne. But that's right where I need to be, for now I can go in the strength of the Lord God. I will go in the strength of the Lord God.'~ Psalm 71:14-16 My mouth shall tell of Your righteousness and Your salvation all the day, for I do not know their limits. The psalmist wrote, 'But I will hope continually, and will praise You yet more and more. Father, fill me with Your peace and take away these fearful thoughts. Torrents of despair escaped my lips until there was nothing left but silence. I resisted again, but this time my rebellion was clothed in a great sob of release. 'Come to Me, Nan, and I will give you rest.'
