PSALM 23: THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD

Psalm 23

Discuss

Have family members list their favorite songs. Talk about the emotions that are represented in those songs – happy, sad, comforting, encouraging . . . Psalms is a book of songs and poems in the Bible that express the writers’ (usually David) feelings and serve as a way to worship God. Psalms 23 may be the most well-known Psalm and David expresses his love for God and God’s protection and provision. Read through Psalm 23 verse by verse and talk about the emotions that you feel when you hear those words – for example – The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing – there is a sense of comfort because God promises to take care of me and provides everything that I need. End your discussion by reciting Psalm 23 as a prayer. For families with younger children, have kids repeat a phrase of Psalm 23 after you.

Weekly Challenge

Make a family collage with pictures (photos/magazines/print from computer,…) or drawings that represent the main ideas of Psalm 23. Some of the items on your collage may represent what God has provided for your family, times He was with you in a “dark place”, where are you the most relaxed, the goodness/blessings God has overflowed into your family, . . . Take a picture of your finished collage and send to Pastor Lesli at lkling@growpoint.church to receive a free family bowling package.

Power Verse

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.
