The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. I have enough...to not want is to have enough...Now. Enough supply, health, mental acuity, friends, ability to meet whatever, whenever, wherever...Now. When we think outside of Now...either forward or backward...we invite fear to do our thinking for us. Fear will whisper, "Not enough," but my shepherd's answer is, "I Am. Enough."
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil for Thou are with me. The valley holds my rues, regrets and remorses, and they birth the Number One offender, resentment. I focus on my shepherd, kiss my remorses on the lips, and know that with God there is no evil to fear.
Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me. "Thy rod and Thy staff" are comprised of the ego's pain of resistance...one, to owning my part, and two, to forgiving the other who had no part in my part.
Thou prepares a place before me in the presence of my enemies. My enemies are my character defects...led by my taking myself too seriously which invites self-pity, self-centered fear, self-will...self, in a word. What we resist persists. The preparation is for my benefit in learning to accept my enemies with lovingkindness.
Thou anointeth my head with oil, my cup runneth over. God loves us singly, separately, all together, as One. There is no God in yesterday, there is no God in tomorrow, God is Now.
Thank you.
