DAY THIRTY

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

He makes me lie down in green pastures,

He leads me beside quiet waters,

He restores my soul.

He guides me in paths of righteousness

for His name’s sake.”

Psalm 23:1-3

COMMENT

What a lovely psalm to end our first thirty days of praise!  You are truly blessed if you can say with confidence, “The Lord IS my shepherd.”  I love the last part of this quote because it gives me confidence to know that the Lord will fix all the broken parts of me and He will show me how to live a righteous life.  Without righteousness you cannot come into God’s presence.  He has provided you with a robe of righteousness as a free gift in response to your faith.  He knows that you can never meet His standards of righteousness on your own, but Jesus met them for you.   He also promises to lead you in a way that pleases Him.

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING

Thank God today for His wonderful gift of righteousness.  Because He has done this for you, there is nothing to stop you from coming to Him at any time and anywhere.  What a blessing and privilege!
