The Good Shepherd: Part 7

Jun 29, 2025    Jeff O'Harra

In this continued exploration of Psalm 23, we're invited to deepen our understanding of God as our Good Shepherd. The central message revolves around trusting God even in life's darkest valleys, knowing He prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies. We're challenged to go beyond surface-level faith - to 'clean the inside of the glass' rather than just the outside. This analogy beautifully illustrates the need for inner transformation and a deeper relationship with God. The journey through Psalm 23 reminds us that our faith journey isn't always about green pastures and still waters; sometimes it involves navigating through challenging terrain. However, these difficult times often lead to profound spiritual growth and a closer connection with our Shepherd. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to embrace both the comforting and challenging aspects of our walk with God, trusting in His guidance and provision even when the path seems uncertain.
