What is it about Psalm 23 and its writer that ministers to
us? Whether we live in green pastures and waters of rest or find ourselves in
the valley of the shadow of death, we all can relate to the song of this
sling-hurtling shepherd boy who cried a lot and whose songs could soothe a
crazed king.
David, the only person in the Bible called a man after God’s
own heart, inspires us with his vulnerability and his yearning for intimacy
with God. Each of us in our own broken way yearn for such an intimacy with God.
I love the way the author goes through various episodes in
the life of David and draws lessons applicable in our own lives.
When everything around me seems to fall apart, I need to
remember that God has a plan.
The good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ is we have
eternal salvation, not because we are powerful and able soldiers in the battle
between good and evil, but because Jesus fought in our place and won.
It is important to remember that there are storms that come
with no wrongdoing on our part.
My brokenness can bring glory to God.
God is an expert in being triumphant in the midst of
apparent impossibilities.
During his time in the wilderness, David kept talking to
God.
God doesn’t abandon us, even when we make wild decisions and
take crazy detours.
Regardless of what was happening, David still had his God!
God’s GPS is able to recalculate and reroute your path no
matter how deep you may have gone into
the enemy camp.
When we place ourselves under the heavenly Shepherd King, He
will provide for our needs.
