Comparing The Book Of Psalms And Prophets

This psalm is very encouraging for me personally. It teaches us to rely on god fully , putting all our faith unto him and him alone. ”When reading Psalms and Prophets can melt our hearts as they stir us towards faith and obedience”. The spirit of fear and anxiousness for the future has no hold over our lives because Jesus died on the cross for us to be set free of anything not of him.

this means for us to be like a sheep, being led to the holy spirit trusting fully in him as he has our best interests in mind. Although it may not be how we intend things to work out god has a plan and a future for our livesThe statement “I shall not want” in itself has a very powerful message.
