Psalm 23 God Leads The Way
Big Idea: God’s presence provides peace for our journey. We are redeemed for God’s glory. Peace comes from staying close to the Shepherd.
The Lord is our Shepherd and King who is our :
1. Provider (23:1-3) also see John 10:11, 27-28
v1 - God ALWAYS gives us EXACTLY what we need, EXACTLY when we we need it.
v2 - God gives us rest and peace (Sabbath).
v3 - God gives us direction and purpose.
2. Protector (23: 4-5)
v4 - God gives us protection form harm and evil, and comforts us.
v5 - God satisfies us through all of our circumstances. “God’s strength in your valley IS His presence in your circumstances”.
3. Promise Keeper (23: 6) also see John 10:10b
v6 - God gives us abundant life. God gives us His forgiveness.
Four things to consider:
1. Where do you need to stop striving and start resting in God?
2. Are you carrying the weight of trying to fix everything yourself?
3. Are you stuck in a valley, wondering where God is?
4. Are all of your “check engine lights” on, and you're still trying to push through?
