Fresh look at Psalm 23

God just blessed me again with the fresh breath of His WORD that came straight from His mouth. I have read Ps.23 many times, yet it never occured to me that God is not only portraited as a Shepherd there, you can see a whole lot more of God than just a Shepherd. It really blessed me.

The LORD is my shepherd, (Jehovah Ro’i: “The Lord my Shepherd.”)

I shall not be in want. (Jehovah Jireh - "The LORD Provider")

He makes me lie down in green pastures, (Rest Giver- Matt. 11:28)

he leads me beside quiet waters, (Jehovah Shalom: “The Lord is Peace.”)
he restores my soul. (Repairer and Restorer- Isa.58:12)

He guides me in paths of righteousness (Jehovah Tsidkenu- the Lord is our righteousness)

for his name's sake. (El-Elyon -- The Lord Most High, His name is above all names)
Even though I walk through the valley

of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil, for you are with me; (Jehovah Shammah: “The Lord is there.”)

your rod and your staff,

they comfort me. (His is our Comforter)
You prepare a table before me (Provider)

in the presence of my enemies. (Jehovah Nissi: “The Lord is my Banner", my victory;Jehovah-Sabaoth -- The Lord of Hosts, the Warrior )

You anoint my head with oil; (Jehovah Maccaddeshcem: “The Lord your Sanctifier.”)

my cup overflows. (El Shaddai- all sufficient One, more than enough)
Surely goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life,

and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

I don't need hundreds of other gods to help me with hundreds of my need- I just need the ONE and ONLY who can do it all by Himself!

He is so good!
