Shadowed By the Shepherd

Psalm 23 invites us into an intimate relationship with God as our personal shepherd. David acknowledges his complete dependence on God, declaring that with the Lord as his shepherd, he shall not want for anything. The psalm reveals that God provides rest, restoration, and guidance even through life's darkest valleys. His presence removes fear, and His goodness and love pursue us throughout our lives. This beautiful psalm isn't just for funerals but offers comfort and direction for daily living, reminding us that true peace comes from depending on the Shepherd rather than our own self-sufficiency.
