Trying vs. Doing

Psalm 23:1 says, "The Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need"
I have been coming to find out with God's word, and everything He says, I either believe Him or I don't.
If I don't, it will show by how I live. I will have my plans in place. I will make sure I am secure financially. I will work hard to achieve my goals. I am in control of my life and therefore have to work hard and full time and sometimes over time to make sure our life goes how we plan it. I know no rest. And even on vacations it is hard to rest, because I have to still make sure that nothing is affecting my plans. And even if I am successful at gaining much riches, I have to always be on top of protecting it. Worrying about who could or might steal it. And for those of us who are poor, or life is a struggle to make ends meet, we feel forsaken and forgotten and sometimes give up.
Such life is void of peace and rest. It is filled with fear, endless thinking and strategies, controlling actions and thoughts, unable to trust, unable to rest, resentment, unforgivness, and the list goes on.
Many of us have mastered masking it. No one knows. They see a good and successful person that's happy.
If I believe Him, my life will also show it. I must believe all, not some or what I am comfortable believing. I must believe that I do have all I need in Christ who is my Shepherd.
Is He your Shepherd? Then you have all you need.
The following verses in Psalms 23 tells us what all we have in Him. Take some time and read and digest and believe Him. And then, ask Him to show you how to live His way. Stay close to Him.
