Well, in the insanity of yesterday, I did manage to read through everything, but completely forgot about posting. Usually I do it in the morning, so I think I just assumed I had already posted.. and then today realized I hadn't. But I did the reading! So that was good.
Today = Luke 17 + Genesis 29:1-30 + Psalm 23
Well, I really have no choice but to comment on Psalm 23. I memorized it with my Grandma Ruby when I was four or five years old, kneeling by the side of her bed at their old apartment in St. Paul. I remember the imagery distinctly. Psalm 23 is no a passage that I wish to really comment on; it is one of those that must just be read over and over, letting it marinate and sink in deep. I pray that each time I read it I will be filled again with renewed thankfulness toward my Almighty, Perfect Shepherd.
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 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. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." (Psalm 23)
