Psalm 23

David pictures the Lord in the role of shepherd. What did the ancient shepherd do?
Is there a modern equivalent to the shepherd for us?

Like many of the Psalms, David is praying in a way that acknowledges God’s goodness, regardless of his current circumstances. This is the perfect prayer to pray when we are nowhere near green pastures or quiet waters. This prayer helps to remind us that God is loving, caring, and generous even when our circumstances would shout otherwise in our ear.

Verbs – V2,3
Makes me lie down
Leads me
Restores
Guides

V6. We can be sure of God’s love for us.

How can we experience the certainty of dweling in the house of the Lord forever?
