The Lord is my… Rest Giver: Personalizing Psalm 23
I love personalizing Psalm 23, and last week led this exercise at Launde Abbey – with these sheep in the background! Here’s the rendition I penned, which you might resonate with?
The Lord is my rest giver, I embrace shalom.
He makes me release my projects,
he leads me to the restoring waters,
he refreshes my soul and my body.
He helps me clear my diary
for my own good.
Even though I trudge
through the valley of overcommitment,
I will not fret,
for you are with me;
your tools to say no,
they help me.
You prepare a feast before me
with those whom I’ve disappointed.
You shower me with your unfailing love;
my heart overflows.
Surely your gentle invitations will accompany me
all the days of my life,
and I’ll live with you
forever.
How might you apply this beloved Psalm in your life today?
