VERSES TO MEMORIZE

Message by Charlie Mashinter – August 18, 2019

 

PSALM 23

Psalm 23 NIV The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest 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 overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

 

BIG IDEA

Sometimes we have concocted some assumptions about God that just are not true and these assumptions, if not corrected, can keep us from experiencing some really good things.

 

1. YOU CAN REST

Psalm 23:2-3 NIV He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.

 

2. YOU CAN BE VULNERABLE

Psalm 23:4-5 NIV Even though I walk through the darkest 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 overflows.

 

3. YOU ARE LOVED

Psalm 23:6 NIV Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
