Quote by Donald S. Whitney
“Pero sí puede darse el caso de que, mientras estás orando el Salmo 23:3, te viene a la mente tu amigo no cristiano, y tú usas el lenguaje de este versículo para decir: «Señor, restaura el alma de mi amigo; restáuralo de la oscuridad a la luz, de la muerte a la vida». Eso sí sería correcto. Esto no es darle un significado que el texto no posee; es solo usar el lenguaje del texto para hablar con Dios acerca de lo que vino a nuestra mente. Por lo tanto, otra vez, es tan simple como llevar todo pensamiento hacia Dios mientras leemos el pasaje.”
