1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters. 3 He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever. (Psalm 23:1-6 KJV)
As we consider what David is saying it is easy to see that David is speaking of different seasons of our lives, there are times when things seem great “green pastures” at other times they are times of refreshing “still waters”
But as we all know there are times when we are walking through the valley of the shadow of death, we will experience times when it seems that everyone is against us, when it seems like enemies are rising up against us , and like David we need to remember that God is always with us, that He is our guide our protector and He will lead us through everything that we are facing, He will provide a table for you in the presence of your enemies. David understood that God is always with him and we can have that assurance also.
