"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not
want" (Psalm 23:1).
In his beautiful book, "I Shall Not
Want," Robert Ketchum tells of a Sunday School teacher who asked her group of
children if anyone could quote the entire Twenty-third Psalm.
A golden-haired, four-and-a-half-year-old girl was
among those who raised their hands.
A bit skeptical, the teacher asked if she could
really quote the entire psalm.
The little girl came to the rostrum, faced the
class, made a perky little bow, and said: "The Lord is my shepherd, that's all I
want."
She bowed again and went and sat down. That may
well be the greatest interpretation ever heard.
