Morning Devotional

“You, Lord, are my shepherd. I will never be in need. You let me rest in fields of green grass. You lead me to streams of peaceful water, and you refresh my life. You are true to your name, and you lead me along the right paths. I may walk through valleys as dark as death, but I won’t be afraid. You are with me, and your shepherd’s rod makes me feel safe. You treat me to a feast, while my enemies watch. You honor me as your guest, and you fill my cup until it overflows. Your kindness and love will always be with me each day of my life, and I will live forever in your house, Lord.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭CEV‬‬

“All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well” in the words of Julian of Norwich.

This is my favorite translation of the 23rd Psalm, and the inspiration for the name of my first blog. I am reminded in so many ways that “ I may walk through valleys…but I won’t be afraid, and even on the most challenging days, that is enough.
Thanks be to God.
