Song of the Shepherd: Meeting the God of Grace in Psalm 23

Of all the psalms of King David, the most popular and well-known is Psalm 23. Its very familiarity, however, may cause us to miss its beauty and message. Song of the Shepherd shows that the picture of the loving shepherd and his sheep speaks profoundly about how we can relate to God. It invites us to enjoy a relationship of intimacy and grace, finding true peace and contentment as we learn to depend on God day by day.

Song of the Shepherd examines the psalm verse by verse and can be used either for individual reflection or for group discussion (questions are provided). It covers key issues in discipleship for both new and mature Christians—learning how to rest in God, learning to trust God through the difficult times, and learning how to live from the resources God provides.
