The Shepherd in the Shadows
Psalm 23:1-6
Standing somewhere in the shadows, you'll find our ever-present Shepherd! We must never forget that, where there are shadows, there is light. Our journey does not end in shadows, our journey ends in the light—the perfect light of our eternal God. He is our light in the shadows!

The twenty-third Psalm is the Psalm of Jehovah! The names of God in Scripture are a revelation of Who He is—His character. The Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New Testament. As we journey through this Psalm, the beautiful attributes of the Lord Jehovah reveal more of our blessed Lord Jesus, Who is the very perfection of all these attributes.

From the Field to the House
Psalm 23:6b
Destination. Location. Duration. They are all found in Psalm 23:6. In this life we travel over mountaintops and through valleys with our Shepherd, but we have an ultimate destination! One day our wandering, worrying, fretting, and failing will all be over, and we will dwell in the physical presence of the Lord for an eternal day!

The Lord’s “Sheep Dogs”
Psalm 23:6a
Our Good Shepherd has a couple of sheep dogs! When the sheep are in need or have experienced failure, God’s “sheep dogs” are always there to assist. He even gives us their names! Today’s broadcast will also remind us that God’s blessings are meant to be shared, not just kept to ourselves.

Anointed by the Spirit
Psalm 23:5b
We see a beautiful picture of the Holy Spirit in Psalm 23. The Shepherd indeed uses a rod and staff, but He also anoints His sheep with healing oil. God’s Holy Spirit is already at work in the believer. We don’t have to ask for it, rather we should acknowledge it! We’ll soon discover that our cup truly “runneth over.”

No One Spreads a Table Like Jesus
Psalm 23:5a
It’s almost humorous to imagine Jesus spreading out a table covering and putting all kinds of good things to eat on it while the enemy’s arrows are flying overhead and there is warfare all around. Yet, He prepares a table for, us even in the presence of our enemies, because He desires to fellowship with us and provide for us!

Dealing with Danger
Psalm 23:4b
Today we discuss the shepherd’s rod and staff. They have different purposes yet are used together. The Word of God and the work of the Spirit are the rod and staff of our Shepherd. Let’s explore how He uses them in our lives, especially when dealing with danger.

The Shadow of Death
Psalm 23:4a
How is it possible that when darkness or death comes we can say, “I will fear no evil?” It’s because the presence of the Shepherd, not the absence of trouble, is what brings peace. Jesus is the Light of the world and when you’re in His presence you need not fear any evil.

His Presence and My Prayer
Psalm 23:4-6
In today’s study we ponder a subtle, yet power, shift in the direction of David’s words. He begins by speaking about the Lord but ends by speaking to the Lord. We all have the promise of God’s presence. He is not only with us, but Christ is in us! Let’s talk to Him, not just about Him!

All the Way to the Palace
Psalm 23:6
Joseph Gilmore was a young minister around the time of the Civil War. Coming out of those dark days, he wrote a poem based on Psalm 23.

Valleys and Battles
Psalm 23:4-5
We learn the most about the Lord in the trials, necessities, and difficulties of life. If you’re going through a valley, praise God. He is teaching you something you wouldn’t learn any other way. Perhaps He is preparing you to help someone else through a difficult season. Take heart! Soon you will see that your valleys and battles were a blessing!

You Are Going Through!
Psalm 23:4
To get from one mountain to another you’ve got to go through the valley. Yet even in the valley, the Lord is leading. Three words in today’s passage will encourage your heart. “Though” describes possibility. “Through” indicates certainty. “Thou” speaks of Deity. Rejoice!

Nothing is worse than the feeling of being lost! The good news is that when you follow the Good Shepherd, He will never make a wrong turn with your life. He restores and He leads in paths of righteousness. Not only will the Lord help you get right - He will help you stay right!

Do You Need Rest and Peace?
Psalm 23:2
Sheep are skittish animals and cannot rest when they are anxious, troubled, or afraid. But in the presence of the shepherd, they find green pastures and still waters. Our Good Shepherd knows what we need. When we follow Him, He will give us peace and rest in a world filled with conflict and trouble.

He Leads Me
Psalm 23:1-3
Often the great struggle children have when playing “follow the leader” is determining who gets to be the leader. It’s not so different with us. We’re all “playing in God’s back yard,” breathing His air, drinking His water, listening to His birds sing. It’s only right that He should be our leader. This study will challenge us to follow our Good Shepherd.

Meet the Sheep
Psalm 23:1
Have you ever wondered why God so often refers to His people as sheep? It’s because people, like sheep, are defenseless. There is an enemy after us! We need the guidance, provision, and even the pasture of our Good Shepherd. Today we will meet God’s sheep – and you’ll find that you already know them.
