The Twenty-Third Psalm (Hawaiian style)

A tropical reminder of God's guidance…

The Lord is my oarsman. He steers my canoe and paddles me safely to shore. He whispers aloha and calls me by name while pointing to what lies in store. The palm trees that sway and the tropical breeze picture all that awaits when I die. Such beauty, refreshment, contentment and peace. And pleasure that money can't buy. And though I may falter, and fall on my face, the Lord walks with me in the sand. His goodness surrounds me and steadies my step. His mercy will help me to stand. He bids me draw close, drapes a lei round my neck and tells me I've nothing to fear. "I'll never forsake you. I'll always provide and I promise I'll always be near."
