Summer in the Psalms Week 3 - Psalm 23 | Sunday Service 6/1/25
To identify with the Lord's position as my Shepherd, I must also identify with my position as His sheep; needy, foolish, and dependant. We are creatures full of desires and needs and no amount of our own striving, our own thinking, or our own providing will ever truly satisfy. This Psalm has brought an abundance of comfort over the centuries to people suffering, struggling, and muddling through lives full of hardship, trouble, and day to day uncertainty. We are not left alone in our struggle, we have a Shepherd who draws near to us, guides us, protects us, and provides for us.
With Jesus as our Shepherd, every need we have is met through His loving care.
Prepare for this week's teaching by reading through Psalm 23, pondering all the implications of the Lord being our Shepherd.
