Psalm 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.  Psalm 23: 1-6 NKJV

Continuing the series on Psalms, on our quarterly communion day, Peter studies with us the love and care our God has for us as declared in Psalm 23. David was a good shepherd and loved his sheep. He met every need of his sheep, giving them shelter, green grass, safe water to drink, and healing their wounds. David is describing to us is what Jesus is like. Jesus has taken on the evil one. Jesus has taken care of our needs and provided abundantly for us. Jesus gave his life for us so that we might have eternal life.
