Psalm 23 is a well-known passage in the Bible — some may even know it by heart. It’s often read in quiet moments or in times of trouble. But, have you ever considered how it could relate to your financial life?
It begins with the words:
“The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)
Let’s pause there. What a statement! “I shall not want.” It doesn’t mean that you’ll have all your financial wishes granted, but it does mean you’ll never go without what you truly need. When God is our Shepherd, when we allow Him to guide us, provide for us, and take first place in our lives — then He promises to take care of us and that includes our finances.
Too often, we put our trust in our jobs, skills, abilities, the economy, or even our intelligence to make ends meet. But those things may not always work in our favour. What happens if we lose our job, have our hours cut, or see the bills piling up? Psalm 23 reminds us that if we walk with God and trust Him daily, we can live without fear of lacking—not because life is always smooth, but because the Shepherd never leaves His sheep hungry or lost.
“He makes me to lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still waters.” (Psalm 23:2)
Green pastures and still waters symbolise abundance and rest. Sometimes, the financial storms of life can cause us to panic, but God can lead us to a place of peace. When money is tight, our minds can become overwhelmed, but there is comfort in knowing that, no matter what happens, He is still in control.
“He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” (Psalm 23:3)
God’s guidance leads to wise decisions, including how we manage our money. When we let Him direct our steps, we are more likely to avoid the pitfall of debt, greed, or poor decisions.
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me…” (Psalm 23:4)
It’s no secret that tough financial times come to all of us. But when we seek His help, God never lets us face these struggles alone. Through every financial valley, He stays by our side, guiding us every step of the way.
“You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup runs over.” (Psalm 23:5)
Even when we face opposition, whether from people or circumstances, God’s blessings can still pour into our lives and not just a little, but overflowing. Nothing can stop the good things He wants to do for us.
If you’re feeling weighed down by financial worries, join us today at the Prosperity with God meeting, as we declare that nothing will be lacking and claim the promises of Psalm 23 for our financial lives. There will also be a special blessing for all communication professionals.
