A Psalm 23 Life
The 23rd Psalm is known by almost the entire world –
even the non-Christian world. This Psalm of comfort in a
time of trouble is spoken often at funerals and times of
extreme pain. Yet the message of the Psalm is deeper
than just words of comfort – it actually give us a picture
of what our lives should be like.

Imagine how these segments of Psalm 23 might be

different from how you currently live your anxiety-filled
life:
• “I shall not want…”
• “He makes me lie down…”
• “…[I walk in] paths of righteousness”
• “I will fear no evil…”
• “Your rod and your staff [the Law and Gospel]
comfort me…”
• “My cup overflows…”

Please don’t throw this away. If you’re not going to use it, leave it for
someone else to use.
