Psalms 65:9-13 NLT
[9] You take care of the earth and water it, making it rich and fertile. The river of God has plenty of water; it provides a bountiful harvest of grain, for you have ordered it so. [10] You drench the plowed ground with rain, melting the clods and leveling the ridges. You soften the earth with showers and bless its abundant crops. [11] You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance. [12] The grasslands of the wilderness become a lush pasture, and the hillsides blossom with joy. [13] The meadows are clothed with flocks of sheep, and the valleys are carpeted with grain. They all shout and sing for joy!

So often we hear the 23rd Psalm recited at funeral services, and with good reason; this Psalm brings great comfort, peace, and strength to those who are mourning the passing of a loved one. As much as this Psalm serves in that capacity, Psalm 23 is also a great source of living power from the word of God. In his word we do draw strength and encouragement for today and every day, when we’re feeling overwhelmed and heavily burdened with the ordinary pressures of life that can rob us of our spiritual, mental, physical and emotional health.

Whenever we find ourselves lost in the shuffle of daily life, trying our best to stay the course, turning to the Psalms, which are prayers written mostly to music; prayer songs, songs of worship, thanksgiving, and praise, we are able to tap into the living power that flows like a river in our soul.

Whenever we’re feeling sad or stressed about various people, places and things, and the random events of life, including the deaths of people we are close to; family, friends, loved ones, coworkers, etc, the living power that transcends the written pages of scripture penetrates our hearts and ministers to us on the inside where real grief and depression can set in and take hold out our soul, gripping it with worldly, even demonic forces and influences.

He makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me beside still waters, as opposed to pastures that are overgrown and overwhelmed by the weeds and waters that are turbulent and polluted with sin and unrighteousness.

When the Lord God of heaven and earth is your shepherd, you will have everything you need, the pasture and field of your heart and mind will be at peace with God and  His peace which surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and mind, as you look to Him in faith and trust.
