This is the song of the satisfied soul! Verse 1. David, a shepherd himself, knowing that the welfare of any flock was dependant upon the care and protection of the shepherd envisioned himself a sheep under the care and protection of the Lord. a. The LORD is my Shepherd: Who is the LORD? Creator, sustainer, redeemer and ruler! b. I shall not want or lack- УConsider the birdЕ Consider the flowersЕФ c. I shall not want- Come what may! We are living in Уperilous timesФ New York Times, headline, УЕ Perilous times darken Easter!Ф УBut know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.Ф 2 Tim, 3:1-5 1. Oil embargo. 2. Terrorist attacks. 3. Demonstration and riots. 4. International perplexity. 5. All out war. d. Come what may, I shall not want! God is going to take care of His people. Verse 2. Makes me lie down in green pastures, leads me beside still waters. a. Fed on the great truths of GodТs word. b. Refreshed by the Spirit. c. Times of refreshment come from the presence of the Lord leading to- Verse 3a. He restores my soulЕ Verse 3b. He leads MeЕ right paths, paths of right living. Broken homes, broken hearts, derelict lives, twisted personalities all the result of going down the wrong path! Sheep naturally will wander into trouble. HE LEADS ME! Verse 4a. Shadow of death- Shadow cannot harm. Death has been gutted of its substance. Death like a dark tunnel leading to the light of immortality. Verse 4b. I will fear NO evil- УThe worst evils of life are those that do not exist except in our own imagination. If we had no troubles but real troubles, we should not have a tenth part of our present sorrows. We feel a thousand deaths in fearing oneЕФ Spurgeon Verse 5. Preparation of a table in the presence of enemies signifies a heart thatТs at perfect rest. A good man has enemies. Friendship with world enmity with God Ц Friendship with God enmity with world! Verse 6. Goodness and Mercy- goodness supplies need, mercy blots out sin! Close: John 10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheepЕ My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. Are you one of His sheep? ^_g╨╒▓┐/~ЕY a { Д Q ] ` h Ў ■ ■    ╠ ╘   ░╦╤¤ў¤є¤Ё¤¤ў¤ў¤ў¤ў¤ў¤ь¤ў¤ў¤ў¤ў¤5Б\БCJ>*CJ 5БCJ\БCJ ^_+,БВ╩╦NO┐└╨ц/0}~╩╦ї X Y x ¤√∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙√∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙∙╤■x y z { ╖ _ ` ї Ў ■   ╦ ╠   ( ╛ ╩╦╠═╧╨╤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤√¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ 1Рh░╨/ ░р=!░"░#Ра$Ра%░ i8@ё 8 NormalCJ_HaJmH sH tH <A@Є б< Default Paragraph Font.>`Є.
