Reading for Day 28
September 28

Col. 4:1-6
Psalm 23:1-6
Prov. 5:22-23

There is something amazing about Psalm 23. The idea of having God shepherd us is very securing. His promise is to provide all we need, green pastures and calm waters. He renews strength and leads us down right paths. The darkest valleys of life may scare us but He promises to walk with us. He will tap us with his staff to correct and guide us. There is great comfort from the rod’s constant nudging because it means my Shepherd is still with me. I can deal with the conflict of enemies and find peace in the middle of it all to sit down to a banquet. He blesses me to the point that my cup runs over. And surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Now that brings me a great sense of security when I face the uncertainty of the future. How great is it to have a God who is this involved in my life. A God who cares enough to do all this for me. This Psalm is surely one that deserves to be memorized. That way it can go with me everywhere.

I was reading in the application notes for Psalm 24 that the people would often call outside the temple gates to open up and let the King of Glory in. The priests or another group would ask, "who is the King of Glory?" and the crowd would respond in unison..."The Lord strong & mighty, The Lord, invincible in battle." Then the gates would swing open & let the people in symbolizing their desire to have God's presence among them. What an exciting scene that must have been! How neat that the community worshipped together and set such a great example for the young people and children. I seek today to be pure of heart and to walk with God in such a way that it leaves a legacy for my children.
