God Our Shepherd

Just a little more from Psalm 23 - look at our Lord - The Shepherd. He gives us everything we need. He guides us like a Shepherd guides the sheep, and then He calls us to intimate communion:

Verses 1—3 The Shepherd and the sheep—He is our Provision

Verses 3—4 The Guide and the traveler—He gives us Direction

Verses 5—6 The Host and the guest—He calls us to Communion

Look at how Psalms 22, 23, and 24 work in concert to unveil Him:
