Psalm 23

Do you know Psalms 23? Can you quote it to me? The 23rd Psalm is one of the most familiar Biblical passages. It's been written on bookmarks and on pictures. It's been quoted in Sunday School and in films. Psalm 23 is world-renown and for good reason - it's a comforting look at life lived daily with the Good Shepherd.

Many people know the 23rd Psalm but the greater question is - Do you know the Shepherd?

Jesus wants to walk with you daily. He longs to lead you into green pastures, to protect you from harm and feed you abundantly. Memorizing the chapter is great but if you aren't walking daily with Jesus you're missing out on what the chapter is trying to teach you.

Real power for Christian living doesn't come from catch phrases or memorized text. To know the word of God is good, but not good enough. To memorize and quote the word of God is good, but not good enough. Real power for your everyday life comes from living out the word of God.

So follow the Shepherd. Seek Him out. Take time daily to recognize and acknowledge His presence in your life. Goodness and Mercy are following you, slow down and let them catch you. Taking time out of your day to connect with Jesus will help you to live a life of purpose and power.
