My Cup Overflows

This continues our series on Psalm 23, “The Lord Is My Shepherd.”

In Psalm 23, David teaches us so many “lessons from the sheep pen” that help us understand how God cares for us as our Shepherd. During our last lesson, we talked about the summer months that the shepherd spends with his sheep in the high tablelands of the mountains. As we continue our study today, we move into the fall of the year. In Autumn, storms of sleet, hail and early snow begin to hit the high country, and the sheep will soon be forced down from the tablelands to the home ranch for a long quiet winter. Blizzards can also make this a miserable time for the shepherd and his sheep. There are, however, some amazing days yet to be enjoyed during the Indian Summer weather that comes before the winter sets in. The flies and insects and scab that tormented the sheep during the summer months are gone, and the sheep are strongest during this season. That is why David writes in Psalm 23:5, “my cup overflows.”

This continues our series on Psalm 23, “The Lord Is My Shepherd.”

Psalm 23:5 You Anoint My Head with Oil

As we have studied this psalm, we have learned that King David is guiding us through the events of a full year in a sheep’s life. He takes us from the home ranch where every need is carefully supplied by the owner, out into the green pastures, along the still waters, up through the mountain valleys to the high tablelands. It is in this beautiful setting that the sheep and their shepherd get to enjoy the summer together.
(BBQs with Mosquitoes that ruin everything.)

Today, we are going to talk about three problems that can ruin the summer for the shepherd and his sheep.

You Prepare a Table Before Me in the Presence of My Enemies - Outline

As much as I hope you all enjoyed Thanksgiving, the table that King David is talking about here had no turkey, stuffing, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, candied yams or apple pie ala mode. There were no plates, napkins or silverware. In fact, there were no chairs and there was no table as we know it.

Your Rod and Your Staff, They Comfort Me - Outline

This is part 8 of our Psalm 23 series, The Lord Is My Shepherd

Psalm 23:4 b
“”¦your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Shepherds in the field would carry a minimum of equipment. The rod (Knob-Kerrie) and the staff were essential. David knew this all to well. He had used his rod and his staff to care for, protect and discipline the sheep. Now he declares that God’s protection, compassion and discipline are a comfort to him. “”¦your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” Let’s talk about the rod and the staff”¦

Walk through the Valley - Outline

This continues our Psalm 23 series on “The Lord Is My Shepherd.”

Psalm 23:4 “Even 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.”

As a shepherd walking through tough terrain, David was fully prepared to guard the flock. He knew that God is fully prepared to lead us in every situation. God knows how to take us through the difficult valleys. There is no such thing as a rose colored life. We will only gain the higher ground by going through the valley, where it’s tough. God will lead us.

To get to higher ground, we must walk through three valleys:
