Psalm 23:1-6 \u2013 NKJV - The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name\u2019s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.\nSermon Point #1 \u2013 God is our shepherd\n\nPsalm 23:1 \u2013 NKJV \u2013 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.\n\nJohn 10:14 \u2013 \u201cI am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me.\n\nSermon Point #2 \u2013 God is our provider\n\nPsalm 23:1 \u2013 NKJV \u2013 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.\n\nPhilippians 4:19 - And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.\n\nSermon Point #3 \u2013 God is our peace\n\nPsalm 23:2 \u2013 NKJV \u2013 He make to lie down in green pastures.
