Psalm 23

Below is a copy of Psalm 23 from the King James version. I'm sure it is the most well-known Psalm and probably the most well-known Bible section. Many of found this comforting when going through a trial and others about it comforting when facing the passing from this world to the next. What often is not thought of is the words in Psalm 22. Psalm 22 starts out with "my God my God why has thou forsaken me". You see it is Jesus being on the cross and suffering the wrath of God for us, they forsaken by his father, that gives us the avenue to have Jesus become art shepherd. I believe it is a tad book of John it talks about Jesus is the good Shepherd who lay down his life for his sheep.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

I hope this little dialogue gives you something to think about. While Jesus was forsaken on the cross you was also paying for my sins and for the sins of all who would believe on him. Take care dear reader!
