SHEPHERD
SHEPHERD
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Definite Article - defines something specific something unique
Indefinite Article “a” - something unspecific
Presumptuous of David?
David knows thoroughly what it means to be a shepherd
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
David knows that a shepherd’s job is to protect the sheep
Very defenseless animals with no means of self defense
No natural defenses - The only thing they can do is run
Must depend upon the Shepherd keep it safe and provide it what it NEEDS!
I SHALL NOT WANT
And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
A good, diligent, and faithful Shepherd makes sure he addresses the needs of the shepherd
I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread.
The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
GUIDE
GUIDE
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Make me lie down in green pasture
1. Sheep has to be free from all fear
2. Free from friction (fights)
3. Free from flies or parasites
4. Has to have full stomach
LEADS ME BESIDE STILL WATER
Still water - WHY (afraid of rushing water)
Must guide them to food and water
Can’t find pasture. Starve to death
They have to be led
No homing instincts like a cat or a dog
Donkey -know his master’s crib
Robber left donkey
Sheep get lost so easy
HE LEADS ME IN THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
In every instance we see David in trouble - he left the path of righteousness and followed a path of his own creation
Think of the times you followed your own path
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart.
There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
BUT THANKS BE TO GOD YOU FOUND YOUR WAY BACK
more than likely it was because you were disciplined
Even 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.
And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. For the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and chastises every son whom he receives.”
For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness. For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Explain oil
God’s word is like that
Explain overflowing cup
When people talk about how good God has been to them they say “my cup overflows”
give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.”
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever
