The 23rd Psalm
GC Version © 2006 by Gary L. Clendenon
Inspired by the book A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by Phillip Keller
I am proud to say that GOD is my manager,
And I am completely satisfied with His management of my life.
My manager’s constant care frees me to focus on resting in quiet contentment.
In the morning, my manager gives me purpose and direction. He leads me through a
perfect daily schedule—His timing never failing to meet my needs.
When I stray from my manager’s guidance and end up flat on my back—arms and legs
flailing, He finds me, frees me, and then holds me ‘til I’m back on my feet again.
Knowing my tendency to get stuck in unproductive ruts, my manager leads me on the
right path for me. As I follow, I learn that His reputation as “Best Manager” is well
deserved.
Yes, even when led through the deepest, darkest, most difficult days, I know no fear. For
You—Knower of the Best Way—are with me.
Your weapon—the power and authority of your word—protects me, disciplines me, and l
ays bare the secrets of my soul; while, at the same time, your gentle Spirit reassures me
with the constant comfort of your presence.
You go before me and beat back my enemies as you prepare for me the best place. I
flourish there in the confidence that you’ve got me covered!
You continuously anoint my mind with your Spirit, freeing me from the distracting buzz
of life’s ever-present and annoying irritations. I am overwhelmed with gratitude!
I am sure that whatever happens in my life will, thanks to my manager’s mercy, turn
out…“good”.
I plan to stay with my manager for the rest of my life!
