S7E30: In Right Paths (Selah - Life in a Minor Key pt. 5)

Sermon #384

The Shepherd's Psalm is one of the best-known and most-memorized passages of scripture apart from the Lord's Prayer, and like the Lord's Prayer, we mostly know it from the King James Version. We also primarily know it as a prayer from funerals, and for when we are in imminent ang grave danger. The risk in expositing such a well-known passage of scripture is the potential to miss something. Today as we examine the 23rd Psalm, we find that the nature of God and His relationship with us is revealed inthe picture of a shepherd watching over his flock. David, the shepherd King of Israel, knew more about being a shepherd than most of us, and the picture he paints of God as our shepherd is one where God provides for us, guides us, and protects us from eternal dangers. In this crisis of the coronavirus outbreak, it is well worsh our time to give this Psalm a second look.
