Synopsis

John looked directly into my eyes and in broken English said something I will never forget.  "Eran, no more walk the back of the line! You stay behind me. And no more look the top of the mountain, you watch my feet.  I step, you step. I go, you go. I rest, you rest. We make it to top together!" Those words, said to me while attempting to summit Mount Kilimanjaro, kept me from quitting that day. More profoundly, the truth of Jesus as my shepherd has guided me through every difficult season of life. Allow me the privilege of reintroducing you to an old friend called Psalm 23.  You’ve seen it framed and hung in a hospital waiting room and funeral homes.  It has been quoted by children and pronounced over those taking their final breaths. It has been cherished by millions and set to music hundreds of times. It would be hard to find a person who hasn’t heard it, but do they fully comprehend it's message for life? Let's take a fresh look at the six verses of Psalm 23. - See your shepherd as more than a guide, but the source of your joy and contentment in life. - Understand His presence as your promise of peace. - Find your identity in belonging before being. - Learn how to stand tall when you're faced with a giant in the valley. - Bow in gratitude when you arrive on the mountaintop. - Slow down to allow His blessing to overwhelm you. In my peaks and valleys and my highs and lows: God is WITH ME. When I'm fired, tired and afraid: God is WITH ME. In dark caves and painful seasons: God is WITH ME. Though friends betray me: God is WITH ME. When our journey through these six verses has concluded, may you see these words as a prayer for living instead of a poem for dying, and may you be overwhelmingly reminded and convinced that whatever you're facing now or in the future: Psalm 23 says, "God is WITH ME."
