“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Ps.23.1 ESV
It comes to my attention this morning that Ps.23 follows Ps.22. The Messianic Psalm that Jesus quoted while hanging on the cross comes before the Psalm we use most often for comfort. Perhaps this arrangement is intentional. Didn’t He say, “You forsaken me,” so we could say, “I shall not want.” After all these years, I am amazed that I just noticed this subtle sequence. I guess it shouldn’t surprise me though; I am still in that stage of waking, rubbing sleep from my eyes and squinting in this Sonlight. 3/18/2009 Conversations Within ts
