Psalm 23:1–2

Like many of the songs found in the Bible, Psalm 23 states its case in the first verse and simply verifies it in the remainder of the song. The key thought is this: Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I shall lack nothing! No uncertainty should frighten me. Here is the way the theme of Psalm 23 is played out in the balance of David's famous song:

I shall not lack rest or provision—why? He makes me lie down in green pastures.

I shall not lack peace—why? He leads me beside quiet waters.

Blake Shelton has released a heartfelt new ballad delivering a powerful message of forgiveness and faith.

The song, "Let Him In Anyway," shares the story of a man hoping for divine forgiveness for a lost friend who was just shy of redemption.

"This song is one of the most powerful songs I've ever had the chance to record," said Shelton in a release. "I've never heard a song like this before. When I first listened to it, I knew it was something special. It's an honour to bring it to life."

Worship leader and songwriter Jon Reddick shared some devastating news Monday. 

He announced that his wife, Rebecca, was diagnosed with early-onset colon cancer last week.

"The diagnosis is positive as it was hopefully detected early enough," said Reddick in a post on social media. 

Rebecca will undergo surgery today, and Reddick is asking for prayers for her, the team of doctors and staff, as well as their kids, as they navigate this journey.

The federal Liberals are pushing further ahead of the Conservatives in voter support, and almost one in two Canadians surveyed said they think the Liberals will win the election, a new poll suggests.

The survey, conducted by Leger for The Canadian Press, reports that 44 per cent of decided voters surveyed would vote Liberal in the upcoming election, ahead of the Conservatives at 38 per cent.

The poll surveyed 1,599 Canadians between March 21 and March 23, which includes the first day of the election, and the two days leading into it.

1 John 1:9

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."
