Sacred Psalms: Psalm 23
Ysavel Medina will be bringing this morning’s message from that familiar passage, Psalm 23. The power of the Psalm is not just in memorizing the words, but rather in thinking its thoughts. As most of you know, Ysavel is the executive pastor at The Ridge, where he provides support to the operation side of the church and guidance to staff. Ysavel and his bride Marla will soon be celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary.

The LORD is my Shepherd
1The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. 4Even 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. 5You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

The Lord is My Shepherd (Psalm 23, Bob Brainard)
"The Lord is my Shepherd" are some of the most comforting words and one of the precious promise's in all of God's Word. It is a promise that has encouraged and carried God's children through the difficulties and trials of life. It is a simple statement filled with ocean depths of theology and tender mercy.

The 23rd Psalm Part 6
What does it mean when the last verse of Psalm 23 talks about “dwelling in the house of the Lord forever?†David also uses three other words in chapter 27 for “houseâ€â€”“templeâ€, “tabernacleâ€, and “tentâ€â€”all direct references to Christ’s own body as found in John 2. Simply put, to dwell in the house is to remain or abide in Christ as your Lord and Savior. The preceding parallel passage, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life†spells it out even more, that all the blessings that accompany the saving grace of Christ are yours the rest of your life! Just like Captain “Sully†demonstrated in that heroic crash landing in the Hudson river, you can remain cool and calm in the middle of turmoil and danger.

The 23rd Psalm Part 4
We all experience gloom in our lives, especially with today's economic challenges. This describes the "shadow of death" that King David experienced when he wrote The 23rd Psalm. The drama in his life and the actual threats on his life by his very own flesh and blood drove him to his only refuge—the comfort of The Lord, his shepherd. How do you see yourself 'finishing' amidst the dangers and threats on the path you are on? Be willing to be led, give up control of your life, and God will guide you safely through!

The 23rd Psalm Part 3
Verse three of this Psalm answers the What, How, and Why of the shepherd restoring the soul. The What: the soul is simply you at it's very essence—emotions, thoughts, desires, etc. The restoration is both short and long term: you are restored daily to a state of health and ultimately into the original—God's image. The How: through God's power as you walk down a path of doing what is right. To receive the blessings of a restored life, action and participation are required. The Why: the text simply reads “for his name's sakeâ€. God gets all the glory and the credit—not a bad proposition considering the endless blessings you reap in the process!

Praying With The Psalmists: A Study in the Psalms, Psalms 23
Are you willing to submit to God as your shepherd, or are you still treating God as your “Co-Pilot?†That’s not a place that He intends to occupy. I've never seen sheep helping to guide the flock. I pray that Psalm 23 gets into your brain, and into your heart! Really, the way we think about God is important. If we do not believe that God is Good, Gracious, Glorious, Great, we will fear for our lives, not believing that God is sovereignly in control of this world. Psalm 23 shows us all of these things about God.
