On My Mind - Psalm 23

I've read this chapter multiple times and have even committed it to memory, but lately it has been on my mind.  Here are my thoughts this afternoon as I meditate on the 23rd Psalm:

Psalm 23

(with my own personal annotations)

¹ The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

(Why should I ever complain?)

² He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

(Why should I ever stress?)

³ he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
   for his name’s sake.

(Why should I ever feel lost?)

⁴ Even though I walk
   through the darkest valley,
I will fear no evil,
   for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
   they comfort me.

(Why should I ever be afraid?)

⁵ You prepare a table before me
   in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
   my cup overflows.

(Why should I ever lack confidence?)

⁶ Surely your goodness and love will follow me
   all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
   forever.

(Why should I ever stop following You?)
