Series Overview
This summer, we are looking at 7 of the names of God! Each name of God gives us a new layer into the ways He provides and cares for us! Each name describes another aspect of God’s character, helping us see just how perfect and complete God really is!
Lesson Overview
Psalm 23 can be found on mugs, shirts, bags, and frames. The familiarity of it can make it easy to forget or even miss the profound message it contains.
The livelihood, health, and well-being of sheep was dependent 100% on the diligence and care of their shepherd. Left to their devices, sheep will over graze a field, drink stagnant water, and wander a great deal off course. But a good shepherd ensures plenty of food, refreshing water, and the correct path based on the weather and terrain. What a gift we have in our Good Shepherd, Jehovah-Raah!
