Seeing God through Psalms 23

Our Pastor gave a challenge to read Psalms 23  and discover words that describe the character of God. This is what I've found:

  1The LORD is my shepherd;    Just the word SHEPHERD describes it all  
   I shall not want.                                      Generous, Intuitive, All-knowing

   2He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:            Provider
    he leadeth me beside the still waters.                      Protector 

   3He restoreth my soul:                                               Healer, Comforter
               he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.     Full of Grace, Merciful, Spiritual Guide


       4Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:                             Defender  
    for thou art with me;                                          Friend, Companion
   thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.                   Leader, Corrector

   5Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:            Honorable, Exhault-er
    thou anointest my head with oil;                                    Royal, Priest
   my cup runneth over.                                                           Fulfill-er

6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:                     Forgiver, Spoiler          
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.                         Father

I challenge you to take a look at the Psalms and see what you'll find that THERE ISN'T ENOUGH TO EXPLAIN WHAT GOD HAS BEEN TO US!!
