The Contradiction at the Heart of Psalm 23

from Asbury Church · host Senior Pastor Andrew Forrest

There is a seeming contradiction at the heart of Psalm 23:In verse 3, the psalmist says that the Lord leads him by the right paths;In verse 4, the psalmist says that he’s walking through the valley of the shadow of death.If God is a good guide, then why is the psalmist in the death valley? Shouldn’t a good guide lead you away from death’s dark valley?
