My Daily Meditation For The Circling Year by John Henry Jowett

AUGUST The Nineteenth IN GREEN PASTURES

PSALM xxiii.

This little psalm has been called the nightingale of the psalms. It sings |in the shade when all things rest.| It makes music in the darkness; it gives me |songs in the night.| And what does it sing about?

It sings of God's bounty in food and rest. |Green pastures|; |still waters.| My Lord knows when my heart is faint, when it needs His reviving food. He knows when my heart is tired and needs His sweet rest. |He restoreth my soul.|

And it sings of the God-appointed way across the hill. |He leadeth me in paths of righteousness.| He makes the right way clear. He walks the path of duty with me. |Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow I will fear no evil, for Thou art with me.|

And it sings of the feast which the Lord serves in the very midst of my foes. |He spreadeth a table before me in the midst of mine enemies.| He gives me the fat things of grace in the very presence of frowning circumstances.

And it sings of the providence which guards the rear. |Goodness and mercy shall follow me!| God's grace comes between me and my yesterdays. It cuts off the heredity from the old Adam, and no far-off plague comes nigh my dwelling.
