He is the goodness better than any good we’ve seen or heard or tasted here (Psalm 16:11), and he is the shelter safer than any government or laws or armies in any nation on earth. Beyond everything I can see right now, and lasting forever, is a gift that can satisfy and protect me long after all my enemies are dead and gone. The hope of all who look to heaven for help sings, “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever” (Psalm 23:6). The world looks and thinks I am weak, poor, and helpless, but with God I have a real, but secret strength and wealth of a kind the world cannot now understand and of an amount they cannot ever count. Not only will I survive this threat or sickness or loss, but I will have all I need and more. When today may be my last day and everything I have gives way, “The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want” (Psalm 23:1). We want a God with a sword, not a staff.īut David saw everything he needed, even when he was most vulnerable and most afraid, in a good shepherd of defenseless sheep. It’s probably not the inspiring metaphor we would reach for with ISIS banging down our door. Sheep are soft, unintelligent, defenseless animals. Everywhere I look people are trying to kill me (Psalm 22:12–13).Īnd then he paints this beautiful, even serene picture: a shepherd walking sheep beside a calm stream or river, and then leading them to green grass where they eat and sleep. In the psalm immediately before Psalm 23 (just a few verses earlier), he writes, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? Why are you so far from saving me?” (Psalm 22:1). He feared for his life, and so he depended on the words of God like we depend on water or oxygen. King David lived in danger almost every day, facing enemies all around him and even within his own armies. Even after it’s been translated into our language, the warnings and promises will feel nice, but foreign and peripheral to the proud and comfortable - more suited for coffee mugs and calligraphy than for life and death. Much of the Bible will not make sense until we feel the brevity, fragility, and gravity of life. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
