LW:Why a table? In the east, the pastureland is so covered with insects and harmful creatures that the shepherd used to place the food for his flock on little raised “tables” to enable them to feed safely in the presence of these “enemies”

Study 4B THE SWEETEST PSALM OF ALL
(Scripture Portion: Psalm 23)

#If the Lord is my Shepherd, verse 2 describes the POSITION into which I am brought .
It is one of complete satisfaction. What is the secret of this satisfaction?
1. The sheep are fully satisfied because the Shepherd provides perfect conditions for them.
Green pastures and still waters. Perfect rest and refreshment! Notice that the sheep lie down, something a sheep will never do while it is hungry. Here, then, is perfect satisfaction. Are you fully satisfied with Jesus?
2. The sheep are fully satisfied because the Shepherd is in full control of them. “He makes me to lie down……He leads me……” By nature we are foolish, wandering sheep (Isaiah 53:6), but if the Lord is our shepherd He assumes full responsibility for us; He gently makes us to lie down and He
leads us in the way of His gracious provision.
This is the secret of a fully satisfied life. It is not only the Shepherd’s provision that satisfies –- the green pastures and the still waters –- it is His presence that satisfies. Is He in control of your life?
#If the Lord is my Shepherd, verse 3 tells me I shall have POWER to go straight.
#If the Lord is my Shepherd, verse 4 assures me that I shall know the PRESENCE of the Shepherd at all times .
1. He promises to be with me in the VALLEY.
2. He is with me in the SHADOW. Death to the Christian is only a shadow; after the shadow there is sunshine for ever!
3. He is greater than my FEARS
#If the Lord is my Shepherd, verse 5 tells me of the wonderful PROTECTION He gives .
If the Lord is my Shepherd, verse 6 tells me of the glorious PROSPECT that is mine.
What is this prospect? Goodness and mercy for all my days down here, and then – in the palace of the King for ever! Thank God, everyone who can truly say the first five words in verse 1 can also say the last twelve words in verse 6! To sum up:
1. beneath me, “green pastures”;
2. beside me, “quiet waters”;
3. with me, “my shepherd”;
4. before me, “a table”;
5. around me, “my enemies”;
6. upon me, “anointing”;
7. after me, “goodness and love”;
8. beyond me, “the house of the Lord”.
What a good life ,A life that is Shepherd by Jesus....is your life one of the lives?pray
