The words of Psalm 23 are the words most frequently turned to by people of faith, and none, in times of stress and strain. It is a psalm that offers us God’s response to the pressures of our lives. We find here: God’s antidote to the things that afflict us, God’s cleansing from the poisons that pollute us and God’s truth for the words that so often trouble us. Here we have God’s detox not for the body but for the soul.
