Psalms 23 as a perfect earthly walk of a New Creation.
"The Lord is my shepherd," my bread-provider. How can I want? He causesme to "lie down in green pastures." I live in divine affluence. He knows everyneed of my life, and so I lie down, under His protection, in green pastures ofplenty.
Sweet water flows by me, clear and sparkling as a crystal. I am the
Jesus-cared-for one. "He restoreth my soul." That means if there is anything
that has frightened me, caused me to worry, filled me with fear, He restores
my soul. He pulls me out of my fear and dread into rest and quietness. And
"He leadeth me in the paths" of this new kind of righteousness where I do not
fear my enemies.
The "paths of righteousness" are the paths of the NewCreation. And though I walk in the realm of spiritual death where everyone isruled by the Adversary, "I shall fear no evil." For I hear when He whispers"Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the age." "Thy rod" of
protection and "thy staff" of plenty; "they comfort me." I am shielded, I am
cared for, I am hidden away in Him. He is my protection. But hear this.
"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of my enemies." No-one
can eat in the presence of enemies, for appetite is gone. But these are
conquered enemies. These are bound enemies. Where I have been defeated,
conquered, and overcome, perhaps disgraced, I reign as a king in the realm oflife through Jesus Christ my Lord.
"Thou anointest my head with oil." I have discovered that I am in the
priesthood. I belong to the Royal family. For only they are anointed. "My cup
runneth over." I have joys unspeakable. This is a wonderful life I am living
with my Lord. And now, "goodness and mercy," the twins of grace, walk arm
in arm with me along life's wonderful pathway. I am dwelling in the presence of my Lord forever. Hallelujah!
This is just a little picture of the New
Creation realities. We have found the thing that the human heart has craved
through all the ages
