When a man’s ways please the Lord, He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him. Proverbs 16:6 AMP
When you find yourself in times of trial and test and it seems like no one in the world understands, hope will hold you close…let it.

And don’t take a care about the naysayers, it’s all a part of the Master’s plan. Keep your eyes on the Father and He will lead you home!

Today, I find comfort in David’s masterpiece. There’s no other way to say it better. The Message Translation adds a touch of colorful expression.

God, my shepherd!
  I don’t need a thing.
You have bedded me down in lush meadows,
 you find me quiet pools to drink from.
 True to your word,
 you let me catch my breath
 and send me in the right direction.  Even when the way goes through
 Death Valley, 
I’m not afraid
 when you walk at my side.
Your trusty shepherd’s crook
 makes me feel secure.  You serve me a six-course dinner
 right in front of my enemies.
 You revive my drooping head;
 my cup brims with blessing.  Your beauty and love chase after me
 every day of my life.  
I’m back home in the house of God
 for the rest of my life.   Psalms 23 MSG
