Psalm 23.
The Lord is my shepherd, i shall not be in want
He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet 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 23-27 is truly beautiful. Actually, every knowledge, wisdom, truth that the whole bible has in all it's pages are beautiful. But this few Psalm struck me this time.

Psalm23 encapsulates all that we can be in God, all that we are given by God.
All His love for us described so splendid ansd great in only 6 verses.

Psalm 24 vs 1 & 2.
The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it. the world, and all who live in it;
For He founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.

Nothing escapes God. He created the universe. He created and is still creating.
Babies in mothers' wombs as i type, flowers blooming, plants sprouting from the earth, butterflies morphing from cocoons, children waking up and having grown a tad inch taller..
God is working in all these things.
Nothing is missed from His eyes
So why, why do we sometimes feel that He is not there, He does not care. If He cares for the smallest of all creation, the flowers, the birds, would He not care for the people he created, in His own image, created to love and be loved by God.
Would You not mean anything to Him.
You, yet but a blurred face, among the many billions and trillions breathing in the earth right now. And yet still, You who matters so much to God.
Would He not care for You?
Would nothing that You do catch His eye, His attention?
Everything that You do matters, everything that You do causes God's heart to move, for You.

Psalm 25 vs 1 & 2
To you, O Lord, I lift my soul; in you i trust, O my God

vs 14
The Lord confides in those who fear Him; He makes his covenant known to them

What is more delightful than knowing that we can hear God's whispers, His thoughts.
That the great I AM, the King and Creator of all the universe, wants to share His heart with us

Psalm 26 vs 8
I love the house where You live, O Lord, the place where Your glory dwells

I want nothing more dear Lord, than to be where You are

Psalm 27 vs 6
...... I will sing and make music to the Lord

"I just want to be where You are
Dwelling daily in Your presence
I don't want to worship from afar
Draw me near to where You are

I just want to be where You are
In Your dwelling place forever
Take me to the place where You are
Cause I just want to be with You

I just want to be where You are
Dwelling in Your presence
Feasting at Your table
Surrounded by Your glory
In Your presence that's where I always want to be
I just want to be, I just want to be with You

Oh my God, You are my strength and my song
And when I'm in Your presence, though I'm weak Your always strong

'Cause I just want to be
I just want to be with You"
