Psalms 23 "The Lord Our Shepherd"

The LORD is my shepherd;

I have everything I need.

²He lets me rest in fields of green grass

and leads me to the quiet pools of fresh water.

³He gives me new strength.

He guides me in the right paths,

as he has promised.

⁴Even if I go through the deepest

darkness,

I will not be afraid, LORD,

for you are with me.

Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me.

⁵You prepare a banquet for me,

where all my enemies can see me;

you welcome me as an honoured guest

and fill my cup to the brim.

⁶I know that your goodness and love will

be with me all my life; and your house will be my home as

Long as I live

Amen.

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want;

he makes me lie down in green pastures.

²He leads me beside still waters;

he restores my soul.

³He leads me in paths of righteousness

for his name's sake.

⁴Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I fear no evil;

for thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff,

they comfort me.

⁵Thou preparest a table before me

in the presence of my enemies;

thou anointest my head with oil,

my cup overflows.

⁶Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow

all the days of my life;

And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD

for ever.

Amen

Listening Ears of the Laity to the Priest on the Pulpit

Listening Ears of the Laity to the Priest on the Pulpit. Edited by Raphael Arinze Sometimes, I always ponder why those who are called Christians always behave like pegans; like unbelievers. What is happening? And what could be the cause? When Christians are supposed to be the light to the whole, salts of the earth....., As Jesus Christ put it for us. Despite all the provisions and equipment, made available in a spiritual realm to keep us going, no matter any circumstances and derived demand to traits our minds back forward. Our live as Christians don't align with the demands of a Christian call. Let us face it. Christians are made to always represent Christ all places in everywhere as the case maybe. Why do we often fail? when we always read the Bible and go to church as we practice. The Spirit of God is always in us, and for it to be active in our lives; God bestows His Spirit upon his Son, Our Lord Jesus Christ so that we can bost ...

Challenges that can even makes you to forget the existence of God, or even if you remember; you will have a doubting spirit. But know that God was never a man, and He cannot be a man. Suffering may present to you as if you are the worst sinner, but bear in your minds that clear conscience justify the cause of true liberty. Mostly, every human aspiration is to have enough, but when something like that is lacking, it might appear to you as if you are not all that prayerful as you ought to be. Or it may seems that God have rejected you. Even when you commit yourself in constant prayer and nothing is coming out positively - unjustified questions will be raising from your mind. But we should look at Job in the Bible. He was a righteous man, but you know the whole story; the abundant ...
