Let the Lord be your Pace Setter: Psalm 23 for busy people

Published by

I thought I will share this one again, mostly a prayer for me, cause I am supper busy. I will make it a prayer for you too. Be blessed! Psalm 23 For Busy People The Lord is my Pace Setter, I shall not rush, He makes me stop and rest for quiet intervals, He provides me with images of stillness, Which restore my serenity. He leads me in ways of efficiency, through calmness of mind; and his guidance is peace. Even though I have a great many things to carry out each day, I will not fret, for his presence is here. His timelessness, his all-importance will keep me in balance. He prepares refreshment and renewal in the midst of my activity, by anointing my head with his oils of tranquility, My cup of joyous energy overflows. Surely harmony and effectiveness shall be the fruit of my hours, For I shall walk in the pace of my Lord, and dwell in his house for ever. _______________________________ -Mariam Wright Edelman

Going Not knowing?

Apparently, the experts on all thing ‘Men’ say that men find it difficult to ask for directions – especially when they are lost driving the wife or family to a very important meeting, a vacation destination or anywhere for that matter. I don’t really know if it is a man thing, but some suggest that men feel less manly asking for directions. I don’t know about you, but it doesn’t bother me at all, to stop at a gas station and just simply ask for help. I rather do that than drive around wearing my ego on my shoulder acting as if I know where I am going. Fortunately, technology has given us Garmin, Magellin, Furuno, TomTom, iCOM, Lowrance, RayMarinem DeLorme GPS devices to help us navigate around and be able to reach our destination and not get lost. These devices also assure us that no matter where you are,  if you miss your turn, you can rest assured that your device is going to recalculate your place to set you right back on track. You will hear that …

The Eternal One is my Shepherd

Psalm 23 The Eternal One is my Shepherd, He cares for me always. He provides me rest in rich, green fields besides streams of refreshing water. He soothes my fears; He makes me whole again, steering me off worn, hard paths to roads where truth and righteousness echo His name. Even in the unending shadow of death’s darkness, I am not overcome by fear. Because You are with me in those dark moments, near with Your protection and guidance, I am comforted. You spread out a table for me, provisions in the midst of attack from my enemies; You care for all my needs. anointing my head with soothing, fragrant oil, filling my cup again and again with Your grace. Certainly Your faithful protection and loving provision will pursue me, where I go, always, everywhere. I will always be with the Eternal One, in Your house forever. In this version or translation of the 23rd Psalm, the message that stands out to me is this: The Eternal One is my Shepherd… He is always with …
