Scriptures used:

• Psalm 23

Subject:

• The Lord is my shepherd: this was written by King David about himself.
• This is true of him.  It can also be true of us, as long as we choose to become one of His flock.
• The sheep are helpless without the shepherd.  He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:  the green pastures are His Word.  He restoreth our soul:  He brings us back to where we need to be, leads us gently on.
• The still waters:  sheep are afraid of muddy, rushing waters.  The still waters bring peace.
• The valley of the shadow of death is this life.  We fear no evil because He is with us.
• The rod is to keep the enemies away, also to correct us on our way.  The staff has a crook in it for the sheep’s neck, to gently guide it back to the path it needs to go on.
• Thou anointest my head with oil:  anointest means “make fat”.  In other words, we will have everything we need.
• My cup runneth over:  There is plenty for others as well as ourselves.  We can share.
• David says he is sure mercy will follow him all the days of his life:  his life is a testimony of the mercy of the Lord upon Him, and his acceptance that he is a sinner and needs the Lord’s mercy.
