This is an eye opener; some probably never thought nor looked at this Psalm in this way, even though they say it over and over again.

The Lord is my Shepherd
That's Relationship!

I shall not want
That's Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures
That's Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters
That's Refreshment!

He restoreth my soul
That's Healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
That's Guidance!

For His name sake
That's Purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
That's Testing!

I will fear no evil
That's Protection!

For Thou art with me
That's Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me
That's Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies
That's Hope!

Thou annointest my head with oil
That's Consecration!

My cup runneth over
That's Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life
That's Blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
That's Security!

Forever
That's Eternity!


Face it, the Lord is crazy about you.
Send this to the people you are crazy about.
I thought this was pretty special,
just like YOU !!!
What is most valuable,
is not what we have in our lives,
but WHO we have in our lives

Thanks for that Jerry,
I was given this as aprophecy when I was an infant christian and panicked because I only associated it with funerals - its very popular over here.

The Seven Redemptive Names of God

Jehovah-Shalom - the Lord is our Peace
Jehovah-Raha - the Lord is my Shepherd
Jehovah-Jireh - the Lord will provide
Jehovah-Nissi - the Lord our Banner or Victor
Jehovah-Tsidkenu - the Lord our Righteousness
Jehovah-Rapha - the Lord that healeth
Jehovah-Shammah - the Lord with us or is present

(These names are cited from F.F. Bosworth's "Christ The Healer" pp 90-91 and from notes of C.I. Scofield, DD, biblical scholar.)
I heard a pastor (I don't remember who) teaching on the radio and I caught a few sentences talking about the "redemptive names" of Jehovah and how if we fail to recognize them, they lose their potency to us, much like when we are asked by the Lord to wake up and pray. If we choose to ignore the request, eventually He will stop asking.

I researched my study Bible and found a listing of the "Seven Redemptive Names of Jehovah." I began to remind the Lord of His promise in Jeremiah 33:3* and to call unto Him by each name. I was so very blessed by His presence.

Over the next several weeks, He led me to understand that we teach our children the 23 Psalm in order that they might know Him by these characteristics (names). The important thing to keep in mind is that in each case, the name is not who He is, it is His very essence. (When we call upon Jehovah Rapha, we are not calling on the God who heals or upon the healing God. We are calling upon the one near whom nothing is less that complete. As we get near to Him we become whole and healed, with nothing missing and nothing broken.)

My understanding is that our Redeemer IS each of those seven beings (the word beings does not begin to describe His essence). These seven facets (or names) are apart from all those other names we call Him.

The one I have the easiest time understanding is Jehovah Rapha. It's like the oxygen-rich environment we put a burn victim in. Our presence in it heals. We don't have to do anything, just be in it's midst. Picture Jehovah Shammah...His Word says "I will never leave you or forsake you."

*Jer 33:3, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not."
