It ia the moat used, as well aa the best loved, of all the Paalma. Poaaeaaion of the Believer ? Psalm 23:1 David derived great aatiafaction from the fact that the Lord waa hia present and peraonal possession All that David waa to hia sheep, the Lord waa to him, yea, and far more. He rejoiced that the Lord would never forget, fail, or foraake him. He rejoiced that hia Shepherd would aupply hia needs from Hia unaearchable riches David derived great aatiafaction from the fact the the Lord, whose love waa unchanging and who faithfulneaa was unfailing, knew him personally, loved him devotedly, aupplied his needs bountifully, and guided him daily. Proviaion for the Believer ? Paalm 23:2-3 The aheep have no care aa to what they ahall eat or drink. It ia the shepherd who locatea the pastures and the waters. Becauae the Lord was his Shepherd, David knew that reat, relaxation, refreshment, and revitalization would be pro vided for him each day. Through warning, exhortation, and chastening the Lord restores to fellowship with Him and to effective service for Him those of Hia children who have gone aatray, in order that He may lead them in paths of righteousness. Illness frequently brings the child of God into the shadows, but to the afflicted one our Lord says, "My grace is sufficient for thee." Many are called to go down into the valley of bereavement because their loved ones have been removed from them. To such, encouragement is found in the words, "Yea, though I walk through the valley." Another valley into which people go is "the shadow of death." Loved ones can neither keep a child of God from entering the valley nor accompany him through it. Only the Good Shepherd can accompnay the children of God as they go through the valley of the shadow of death. With the assurance of His presence and companionship there is no reason for complaint or fear. The fact that "Thou are with me" is a positive guarantee that all will be well. His presence with His own is a certainty. Comfort is also pro vided for the believer ? "Thy rod and they staff they com fort me." The rod refers to authority and the staff speaks of aid. His blessed presence, protection, power, and provision should abolish our fears and purge us of anxious care. Verse five takes us from a pasture scene to a table scene. It portrays a banquet table prepared by the Lord for us in the presence of our enemies, but in perfect security from them. The anoited head and overflowing cup have reference to God's care for His children. He cared for them providingly, affectionately, faithfully, and constantly. This care is extended to the most minute details of our lives. The assurance that our cups will continue to overflow with His grace, mercy, and blessings as we keep on living for Him affords us great and joyous satisfaction. Prospect of the Believer ? Psalm 23:6 Goodness and mercy are attributes of God. God ex presses His goodness to His people in His wonderful acts of mercy in His dealings with them. Goodness has ever been the root of which mercy has been the fruit, or the former has been and cause and the latter has been the effect. His faithfulness to us in the past convinces us that we can trust Him implicitly in all the future. Because the love of God never changes, His care of His children never ceases. What a Joy it will be when our Lord shall bid us enter into the fellowship of the saints and the Saviour in heaven ! + + + The Sunday School Lesson is sent in each week by Clear Creek Baptist School in Pineville, Ky.
