Psalm 23
Psalm 23
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures and leads me beside still waters.
3 He revives my soul and guides me along right pathways for his Name’s sake.
4 Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I shall fear no evil; for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
5 You spread a table before me in the presence of those who trouble me; you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over.
6 Surely your goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
What part of the 23rd psalm do you remember most?
Arthur: The green pasture. A pasture only has good things. Good places. Good things. Like no poisonous snakes. ‘at’s because only good snakes will be there. No poison ivy or bugs either.
George: I remember the dark valley part. That’s the part with Jesus. He gives you power that you could need in that part.
What about the shepherd?
George: A shepherd herds sheep and takes care of them. Maybe it’s like that: God takes care of us.
What do you think about “you have anointed my head with oil, and my cup is running over”?
Arthur: Oil makes you holy, I think. About the cup, it sounds like you have plenty and more.
Or spreading a table before us?
Arthur: God will give you whatever you need. Like a drink or snack. It’ll just be there for you.
What about living in house of the lord? What does that look like?
George: The church, of course.
George and Arthur Glenn
