The Lord is my Shepherd:
This could mean one is under the mantel of God’s presence. The entirety of the Divine is watching over one’s existence. This is a gigantic truth. If one relaxes into this miracle, there are definite indicators of this truth. One is guided, protected, nurtured, and loved in a vast wholeness.
I shall not want:
There are no needs. The Divine hand gives everything necessary for a complete existence. One does not want for food, shelter, safety, and nearness…..we are created by a Creator who loves us. His guidance is the direction of ease this leads us to prosper. His Gift causes fullness.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
All is given in plenty. This is so comforting and idyllic. The perfect environment for rest and food. This is the meeting place in many ways; the Lord gives us rest.
He leadeth me beside the Still Waters:
We are brought into Stillness and healed by His presence. He leads us there by the Holy Spirit. Internally, we are taken when the “waters are still”; a place of deep abiding Holiness.
He re-storeth my soul:
The Lord sanctifies our being. The Tide washes away the sins. This event feels so beautiful as one is purified. He creates the neutral so we can recognize Him.
​
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for
Thou are with me:
We must travel the shadow world to become free and wise…He gives us a light to make observations in the darkness. This observer eventually senses God’s love and the eternal becomes a natural landscape. There is no fear of seeing one’s flaws. No threat is possible. All observation moves into self- knowledge, embraced by Love. The Truth sets one free to be transparent to God’s Love and to love all as Self…a miracle of Joy.
He prepareth a table before me in the presence of my enemies:
First the enemy is within…always...but this does apply if one is confronted…but...how one sees an enemy can rearrange the labels. A quiet mind in the face of adversity places Love in the foreground as nurture that enables vision. He sets a ‘place’ for us to be love.
My cup runneth over:
​
I am fulfilled and more comes. Virtue arises like a Sun from His Radiance. The Flow is His greatness…His Cup contains an Infinite Ocean. My cup ends in the greatness.
Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me:
We are given direction. We come to know the beginning and end of events through a vigilance yoked by God’s Hand. This creates a format that is ease and understandable within the Mystery.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever:
A Home in the Great Ocean of Love . Divine Music ~ Everywhere.
