“I Shall Not Want”

By G. Henderson

(Psalm 23)

WHAT is that “I shall not want”? The finger of faith runs over the keyboard, and brings out eleven distinct notes. Listen to them: —

I shall not want rest, for he maketh me to lie down.

I shall not want refreshment, for he leads me by still waters.

I shall not want guidance, for he leadeth me.

I shall not want peace, for I will fear no evil.

I shall not want companionship, for thou art with me.

I shall not want comfort, for thy rod and staff comfort me.

I shall not want sustenance, for thou preparest a table.

I shall not want joy, for thou anointest my head.

I shall not want anything, for my cup runneth over.

I shall not want happiness now, for goodness and mercy follow me.

I shall not want glory hereafter, for I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

— G. Henderson.
