A Farmer's 23rd Psalm

A Farmer’s 23rd Psalm

By: David A. Bigley

The Lord is like a good and wise farmer,

for he plants my soul in the rich soil of his love and care for me.

The roots of my faith reach for the life giving waters,

 that he irrigates my spirit with, in the hot dry months of summer.

 He plants me in straight rows,

 and cultivates my character for his name’s sake.

I will not fear the drought or storms of life,

for he tenaciously watches over me and is with me at all times.

It is quite evident that he is proud of me,

 for he lovingly nurtures my growth, celebrating my progress.

And I will dwell with God forever as his precious grain of wheat,

when comes the time of harvest.
