2024 Thanksgivign Month Day 2: Give Thanks Because God Is Our Shepherd (Psalm 23:1-6)
(Memorize verses 1-6)
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures; 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.

【Reflection】
We give thanks to God, our Shepherd, for we shall not lack. He is our Shepherd, personally leading us along the path of life, where there are green pastures to rest in and still waters to refresh our souls. He revives our souls, bringing us out of darkness into light, guiding us in His paths of righteousness and peace. On this heavenly journey, though there may be valleys of the shadow of death and “enemies all around,” the Lord leads us through safely and victoriously by His presence and power. May we never forget His works and grace along this journey, and may our trust in Him and hope for the future grow continually. Yes, with our Shepherd’s provision, protection, and guidance, no matter how dark or rebellious this age may become, we are confident that the path ahead will grow brighter, and we have great assurance in life. How thankful we are to hold and experience this truth all our days: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want…Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
