Daily Dose of God's Word For 10-9
Psalms 23
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Ezekiel 34
God, you are so good. We could never deserve your goodness. We would not be alive, we would not take our next breath, our heart would not have its next beat if you weren't a good God. Forgive us for ungratefulness, forgive us for prideful self-centeredness, forgive us for thinking that we did it all. Yeah, right. Nothing would happen, we wouldn't even exist if it weren't for you. Now you pray. Why don't you say something like this, "God, I'm sorry that I have often forgotten your goodness. I don't think about it. God, when I don't think about how good you are, I start claiming credit for things that you did for me, through me, and in me, and to me. I'm sorry. I am nothing without you. Amen Rick Warren
