Overflowing
The phrase “my cup runneth over” paints a very literal picture in my mind, but what significance does the illustration carry into our daily lives?
Anointed with Oil
“Thou anointest my head with oil” What does this mean for Christians in our daily lives? This week’s post draws from David’s experience as a shepherd to point out us to the way our Good Shepherd heals, protects, and prepares us to meet the trials and temptations of everyday life.
A Table Prepared… Where?
The illustration of sheep with Shepherd is set aside for the picture of a banqueting table, carefully prepared for us…but in a place we would never have thought possible. The table in the presence of our enemies showcases the majestic triumph of salvation and the love and generosity of our Savior.

Rod and Staff: Part One
This is another familiar phrase in Psalm 23, but it holds more depth than you might realize. What significance does a shepherd’s rod have for you and I in modern times?
The Valley of the Shadow of Death
As humans, we have an innate fear of death. But for the Christian, we can walk through the valley of the shadow of death without fear. Why is that? Because the Lord our Shepherd walks with us.
Paths of Righteousness
The Lord, our Shepherd leads us in the paths of righteousness... so what does that mean?
Soul Restored
"He restoreth my soul..." I have breezed past these words over and over again without really stopping to contemplate the ways my Good Shepherd restores my soul. So what does it mean to have a soul restored?
Still Waters
The Lord is our Shepherd, and He leads us beside the still waters. It is easy for us to neglect rest, to value motion and activity over time spent being still before the Lord. So, what do the "still waters" mean for us today?
