The 23rd Psalm is arguably one of the most beloved chapters in the entire Bible. This “pearl of all Psalms,” has “dried many tears and supplied the mould into which many hearts have poured their peaceful faith.” Millions have memorized this passage and pastors frequently turn here to help comfort those going through trials and tribulations, illness and on the brink of physical death. In Psalms 23 King David describes his intensely intimate personal relationship with the Lord in which he unequivocally places his trust in God for protection and providence. While tranquility in life is not always attainable, one can walk through the darkest valleys of life without fearing evil because the Lord as our shepherd provides and protects those He calls His own. In the following sermon, I am going to explore five things that the sheep of the Lord’s flock experience: contentment, assurance, security, safety and satisfaction. Before I do so I would like to thank D.A. Carson whose sermon “The Psalm of the Sheep” has become the backbone of this sermon.
