23rd Psalm The LIMSHLMIPOR

Good word. GOD bless you bother.

[@Bluesnakes333]

God blessed me with MORE THAN I COULD EVER IMAGINE. DON’T ASK FOR SPECIFIC THINGS. LET GOD BLESS YOU WITH HIS GLORIOUS AND PERFECT PLANS FOR YOU.
I recently discovered this reading. I never knew what it meant. To me, the reason we shall not want is because God knows exactly what we need and abundantly gives this. I give God all permission (all glory to God) to work in my life based on what He wants for me (which is always BEST) rather than what I want (or think that I want).
God has amazed me more than I could ever have thought of myself ….
I’ve tried to choose the best school, best home to buy, big decisions on my own before. Did all my research and talked to specialists. Not ONCE did that path lead me to satisfaction.
Only when I submit all my TRUST to God and ask Him to decide for me - is when I think, “Wow. THIS is what I deserve”. He gives freely. No strings attached. There’s no “catch”.
I ask God, “Lord, please take the wheel in my life and let your will be done unto me.” (Or however you like to word your prayer 🙏 ) I am basically asking God to choose for me (even though He allows us to choose for ourselves if we like).

[@gailmaim]

Bigger than the largest valley bigger than the largest mountain . God laid down the foundation . Gave us all his Gifts light within creation soles wills peace and truth understanding . The foundations of Eternity . Gods seeds . Light of creation soles wills Truth to be powerful . Our Ancestors built temples to us . All over the world.

[@andrewnoblett9510]

God is the spark to carry the flash through creation eternal smiles we wish for Truth to be powerful. Harts and minds truth soles wills will of All wills the power of The Will of The Wish To believe . Creation Eternal spark that Cary’s a flash rides out through a wave beginning through Ends . Blessed with light Gods will Gods wish to be creation. Speak what we feel feel what we see . I am fighting for something beyond understanding but I will know what to do . I am of the land trees and seeds . Sun the moon stars reflections .

Do you believe God's goodness is actually pursuing you? If not, why not, since Scripture includes the word surely? BTW, this was read at the graveside portion of my mother's funeral.
