Psalm 23

 Psalm 23

February 20, 2026

The scripture of the day in my reading plan is Psalm 23.

Psalm 23:1-6 (NKJV) 1 A Psalm of David. 

The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want. 

2 He makes me to lie down in greenpastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 

3 He restores my soul; He leads 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 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 runs 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 Forever.

This Psalm is familiar to all of us, but it’s sometimes good to go back and review the familiar things. We need to remember that the Lord is our shepherd and that we shall not want. We tend to forget and worry about daily needs, but when we remember that the Lord is in charge, He restores our soul and leads us in the paths of righteousness. So today, even if you are walking through the valley of the shadow of death, take heart and fear no evil, for He is with us. He comforts us like a shepherd with his rod and staff to guide and protect us. Surely our cup runs over and goodness and mercy follows us all the days of our lives. His peace comes from dwelling in His house forever. So love and peace and rest in green pastures this day.
