Psalm 23

Psalms" Psalm 23   Because God is the Good Shepherd, I Can Trust That . . . He provides every good thing I need. (vv.1-3) "For the LORD God is a sun and shield; the LORD bestows favor and honor.  No good thing does He withhold from those who walk uprightly."  Psalm 84:11 All I need is found in all Christ   He never leads me where His presence doesn't go before me and remain. (v.4) Wherever He leads, He is always with me. (Isaiah 43:2) "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me . . ." Psalm 23:4a I have nothing to fear in the shadow of death because Jesus Christ took the sting of death and overcame. I have nothing to fear because His Word and His Spirit are my comfort, my guide, and my protection. "Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."  Psalm 23:4b   Even in the most difficult circumstances I can delight in His goodness because of His grace. "You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows."  Psalm 23:5   He relentlessly pursues me with His goodness and steadfast love. "Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life . . ." Psalm 23:6   He leads me to the hope of dwelling with Him forever. "And I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever."  Psalm 23:6
