Psalm 23
1 The LORD is my shepherd,
I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
or his name's sake.
4 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.
5 You prepare a table before me,
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
I've been spending a lot of time over the past few days thinking about JEHOVAH JIREH- the LORD, my provider. This morning I came across some wonderful thoughts on God's provision from Dr. Harry Ironside, former pastor of Moody Memorial Church in Chicago. I pray they bless you as much as they did me. Ask God to minister these truths to your spirit today. For, truly, when David wrote "I shall not want," it was because he knew God as his JEHOVAH JIREH - the One Who provides our every need, both present and future.
Do you need rest? He makes me lie down in green pastures
Do you need refreshment? He leads me beside quiet waters
Do you need restoration? He restores my soul
Do you need guidance? He guides me in paths of righteousness
Do you need confidence? I will fear no evil
Do you need companionship? for You are with me
Do you need comfort? Your rod and your staff, they comfort me
Do you need provision? You prepare a table before me
Do you need joy? my cup overflows
Do you need anything in this life? Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life
Do you need anything in eternity? and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever

Well, you were right on the mark with your comment on Kelly's blog!! Every night when Granddad and I look at Harper's picture it's all we can do not to jump in the car and head to Harperville!!!
Loved the picture with you and your doll. I LOVED dolls when I was little and never really wanted anything but a home and a family. God has been so good to me!
Enjoyed the post! I needed to be reminded that He is my Provider.
