Psalm 23:6 English Standard Version (ESV)

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell^[c] in the house of the Lord
    forever.

The Lord’s anointed do not need to have this explained other than what the Holy Spirit testifies about.

The Lord’s anointed did not learn anything new in this series. It serves more as a reminder of things already known.

“I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance:”

Do you really need chapter and verse to recognize scripture?

Have you been there before? Is implanted on your heart and in your memory?

Perhaps it was read in another version.

“I am stirring up your sincere mind by way of reminder”

Or another.

“I have stirred up your unsullied (sincere) mind by way of remembrance,”

The version we read most often has imprinted that version in our minds but has not changed meaning nor has been more or less true.

The truth is the truth, no matter the language.

“Dans l’une et dans l’autre je cherche à éveiller par des avertissements votre saine intelligence,”

“En estas dos cartas estimulo con exhortación su limpio entendimiento,”

The Spirit speaks them all.

Psalm 23:5 English Standard Version (ESV)

You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.

The Lord makes provisions for our tables. It is our table, His provisions. Do we clear our table to make room for His provision? Do we try and leave our “stuff” on the table and allow our “stuff” to be mixed in with the Lord’s provisions? Do we lay claim to ownership? Does pride get in the way?

This is done in the presence of our enemies to allow them to know that God is on our side. It is that verse, if the Lord be with me, who can stand against me. Christ is the victorious warrior and the enemy knows it. The enemy is a defeated foe.

He has anointed us with the Holy Spirit. All that He is and does serves God and blesses us in the process.

Our cup overflows. We cannot contain the blessings bestowed upon us. Not to worry, they are not wasted but fall upon others abide around us.

This is the key verse. Simple yet profound. We owe all glory and honor to He who has anointed us, blessed us, protected us, and an endless number of things too numerous to mention here.
