This post on the Between Two Worlds blog is a contrast of Antipsalm 23 to Psalm 23, and is a good reminder of what life would be like without Christ: And when you're caught up in the antipsalm, it doesn't help when you're labeled a "disorder," a "syndrome" or a "case." The problem is much more serious: The disorder is "my life." The syndrome is "I'm on my own." The case is "Who am I and what am I living for?" when too clearly I am the center of my story.
Contrast that to a life with Jesus as the center of the story: When you awaken, when you see who Jesus actually is, everything changes. You see the Person whose care and ability you can trust. You experience His care. You see the Person whose glory you are meant to worship. You love Him who loves you. The real Psalm 23 captures what life feels like and looks like when Jesus Christ puts his hand on your shoulder.
Read the whole article and meditate on the goodness of our Lord. He delights to walk with us!
