"I lift up my eyes to the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth" Psalm 121:1,2
A house party once was held in an English manor. As was customary, the after-dinner entertainment featured recitations and songs from the guests. A famous actor was present, and when it came his turn to perform, he recited the Twenty third Psalm. His rendition of the familiar psalm was magnificent and received with much applause.
Later in the evening, the hostess noticed her little old great-aunt dozing in the corner of the room She was almost completely deaf and has missed most of the evening's entertainment. Still, the other guests urged her to recite something. Since most people of that era knew many poems by memory, the hostess felt sure she would recite a poem. To everyone's surprise, she stood up, her voice quivering, and recited the Twenty third Psalm! When she finished there were tears in most eyes, including those of the famous actor. One of the guests later approached the actor and said, "You recited that psalm absolutely superbly. It was incomparable. So why were we so moved by that funny, little old lady?" He replied, "I know the psalm. She knows the Shepherd".
Prayer is our foremost way of getting better acquainted with Him.
