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.
