Christian Commentary Encouraging Devotions

OK, so this morning before heading off to work, I read my psalm for the day.

Psalm 23.

The Lord is my Shepherd. I have everything I need.

He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths.

I will fear no evil...

for You are with me.

...You are with me. Hallelujah!

Then later in the day as I'm working along, I hear in the background a song.

Amanda Stott singing, "You're Not Alone".

Coincidence? I think not.

A number of years ago when I was working the (very) early morning shift,

I heard this same song, "You're Not Alone".

I wasn't paying attention, but my ears suddenly perked up

and I realized what I was listening to.

You're not alone.

I'm not alone. The Lord, my Shepherd, says, He is with me.

And because of that fact... I will fear no evil, for You are with me.

A couple of years ago I was able to personally tell Amanda Stott

just how much her song had ministered to me at a stressful time.

Take heart today. You're not alone. He is with you.

And elsewhere in scripture he has promised never to leave you nor forsake you.

Powerful.
