Psalm 23
2008-06-04 12:00:00 The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it, the world and all who dwell in it He has set it on the seas, and prepared it on the rivers.Who will ascend the mountain of the Lord, or who will stand in His holy place?He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who has not set his mind on vanity or sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.These are the kind who seek the Lord, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, you eternal doors, and the King of Glory will enter.Who is this King of Glory?The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, you eternal doors, and the King of Glory will enter.Who is this King of Glory?The Lord of Hosts, He is the King of Glory.Visit Catholic Prayers to see collection of inspiring prayers.

2/20/08 - Life Journal - The Lord is My Shepherd
2008-02-20 17:24:00 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.Psalm 23:4Imagery of God as our shepherd is awesome, especially here. The sheep are being led through a valley, the staff their guide, as His rod protects them from the wolves.We are living in a world filled with evil. Sin, temptation and death are all around. Thank you Lord that we have you as our shepherd. Your staff, in the form of Your word and the Spirit that lives within me, is my guide. Your rod, used not only for protection but for discipline, leads me to righteousness and not into temptation. Your Son's life gave me the victory over sin and death. I am comforted, I will fear no evil. Father, I pray that my life can help lead people to your green pastures and still waters with a restored soul.
A Sheep Looks At Psalm 23
2007-12-03 02:53:00 It’s no secret that sheep are not the most intelligent of the animal kingdom. They need a shepherd! In the darkest time of my life it was Psalm 23 that comforted me over and over. But I must admit I was baffled by “They rod and thy staff, they comfort me.” Growing up as I did, rods were not used to comfort me! In the early ‘70s I bought a book written by Dr. W. Phillip Keller called A Shepherd Looks At Psalm 23 ©1969 The Zondervan Corporation. The late Dr W Phillip Keller was born in East Africa and was always an “outdoors” boy. He was trained in agronomy (management of farm land) and spent many years on ranches in British Columbia. He lived among the sheep and their shepherds and was a keen observer of sheep and their relationship to the shepherd. So he knew what he was talking about when he wrote his books on shepherding! This was one of the most informative books I have ever read. David, the author of this poem was not only a shepherd, but also a son of a sheph...
