Psalm 23 of the Psalms of Steel
 By Robert Dean Steel

The Lord is a help and comfort in all things.
The Righteous have learned this are they are set.
The foolish trust in their own resources and wisdom,
The Righteous know the ways of God and love Him.
The foolish trust in their own intellect and hate God,
The Lord knows whose are His and those who are not.

Man always looks at the outward and misses the mark.
God sees what is in the heart and places eternity there.
Man rewards accomplishments, gestures of wealth and skill.
The Lord rewards love, obedience, faithfulness and character.
Which do you prefer the temporary or the eternal?
Are you wise or foolish, the choice is clear?

One thing I do know is that the things of man fade away.
That which belongs to God will stand for eternity.
I will follow the Lord, trust in Him and His marvelous love.
His love is eternal, matchless, priceless, powerful and glorious.
The love of God stands forever and will cover any sin.
Choose God's way and live.  If you choose man's way and you will perish
