On Wednesday mornings at 7.30 I attend a wonderful Bible Study called Coffee Break of Faith. The group is made up of retirees. Everyone is no less than 20 years or more my senior. But I love the group as their wisdom, knowledge and life application of scripture is boundless.

Recently one of the ladies of the group shared a rewrite of the 23rd Psalm. She expressed it was crafted for the work place. Her son and daughter now corporate types having finished their educations found peace of mind and a sense of comfort in the scriptural update. I think it works for anybody and everybody who truly knows the Lord. I’d like to share the piece with you.
Psalm 23 for the Work Place
The Lord is my real boss, and I shall not want. He gives me peace, when chaos is all around me. He gently reminds me to pray and do all things without murmuring and complaining.
He reminds me that he is my source and not my job. He restores my sanity everyday and guides my decisions that I might honor him in all that I do.
Even though I face absurd amounts of e-mails, system crashes, unrealistic deadlines, budget cutbacks, gossiping co-workers, discriminating supervisors and an aging body that doesn’t cooperate every morning, I still will not stop, for He is with me!
His presence, His peace, and His power will see me through. He raises me up, even when they fail to promote me. He claims me as His own, even when the company threatens to let me go.
His Faithfulness and love is better than any bonus check. His retirement plan beats every 401k there is! When it’s all said and done, I’ll be working for Him a whole lot longer and for that, I bless His name.
I pray this blessed your spirit and made you smile a big Jesus Smile.
See you next Sunday.
