e100 Challenge- Day 41- The Lord is my Shepherd Psalm 23:1-6

This Psalm just may be the most popular Psalm and perhaps the most popular passage in all of the Old Testament.  Christians have heard it preached, some have memorized it and prayed through it.  Unbelievers have heard this Psalm as well, perhaps at some of the funerals they have attended.  However, this Psalm is not about death, but about life, rest and peace.  Many a Christian has found deep comfort and encouragement from this great passage of Scripture penned by King David.

Questions to Consider:

1. David quickly identifies the LORD as his source of his life,

    rest and peace in verse one. There are so many "gods" that 

    are jockeying for the Yahweh's lordship over our lives.  David 

    placed his confidence in the Almighty.  How about you dear 

    friend, where does your confidence lie this morning?

2. Jesus is called the "Good Shepherd" in John 10:11, the "Great

    Shepherd" in Hebrews 13:20 and the "Chief Shepherd" in 

    1 Peter 5:4.  The Bible tells us that Jesus is Lord!  What does 

    David say that the LORD does for him as his shepherd? 

    (make a list Psalm 23:2-6)

3. Notice that David says, "The Lord is MY shepherd".  While 

    hearing or reading this psalm is a passage of provision, 

    protection and peace.  It can only be experienced IF the 

    LORD is your shepherd and you are His child (John 1:12).  

    Have you trusted Jesus as your Lord and Savior?

Pray: If you are a believer, pray a prayer of praise and thanks to your shepherd for all His promises to you in Psalm 23.  If you are not a believer and want to be, pray a prayer acknowledging your disobedience toward God and in faith ask Jesus to forgive your sin and come into you and be your LORD, Savior and Shepherd.
