Psalm 23 (Part 2): Trusting The Shepherd In A World of Wolves | Matthew Maher | Landmark Church

Psalm 23:4

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me…

“I will not fear because the Shepherd is near.”

When the Son is before you, the shadow is behind you.

Psalm 23:4

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.

If God allows pain to touch your life, it’s because He wants you to use it to touch His life.

Psalm 23:5

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies…

The table is not the absence of enemies — it’s the presence of the Shepherd.

Psalm 23:5

You anoint my head with oil…

Spiritual maturity isn’t measured by you getting more of the Holy Spirit, but rather the Holy Spirit getting more of you.

Psalm 23:5

My cup runs over.

Psalm 23:6

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

God loves us where we are, but His love doesn’t leave us the way we are.
