He is my shepherd

Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want…”

……….

He quietens the sea

when life roars loud,

And settles the pang

of hunger’s growl.

………..

When it all unravels

my soul he reknits,

Should fear choke tight

he loosens the grip.

……….

He is my shield

against arrows that fly,

And he pours abundant

when life drips dry.

……….

Moment by moment

I have all I need

For he is my shepherd

and I am his sheep.

Read Psalm 23 in its entirety for a blessing; it’s comfort food waiting.
