Personalize When It Applies

Why is Psalm, 23 out of the many of Psalms so memorable? Psalm 23:1, The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want. (2) He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside still waters. (3) He restoreth my soul; He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. As the psalms continues you to come to notice that this psalm is personalized. The personalization gives the reading a different effect.

You may have many scriptures that you confess daily that you can actually personalize. For example, Psalms 91:3 Surely, He shall deliver me from the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. (4) He shall cover me with His feathers, and under His wings I will trust; His truth shall be my shield and buckler. (5) I shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day. (7) A thousand shall fall at my side, and ten thousand at my right hand; but it shall not come nigh me. (8) Only with my eyes shall I see the punishment of the wicked. (10) There shall no evil befall me, neither shall any plague come nigh my dwelling. (11) He will give His angels charge over me, to keep me in all Thy ways. (12) They shall bear me up their hands, lest I dash my foot against a stone. (13) I shall tread upon the lion and the adder: the young lion and the dragon shall I trample under feet. (16) With long life will He satisfy me and show me His salvation.
