My Shepherd

Text: Psalm 23

Sermon by Pastor Brent Snook / Jan 31, 2026

Introduction

Psalm 23 is one of the most familiar passages in Scripture.
Familiarity can cause us to overlook its depth and richness.
David, a warrior and king, reflects on God as his tender Shepherd.
Scripture frequently describes believers as sheep (Isaiah 40:11).

I. The Shepherd and Our Frailties

Psalm 23:1–3

A. The Nature of Sheep

Sheep are:
- Without direction.
- Defenseless.
- Dirty.
- Dependent.
Believers are fully dependent on the Shepherd’s care.

B. The Contentment of the Shepherd

“The LORD is my shepherd” (Psalm 23:1).
God’s care is personal and individual.
Contentment flows from belonging to the Shepherd.

C. The Care of the Shepherd

The Shepherd:
- Makes us rest (Psalm 23:2).
- Leads us to still waters.
- Restores our souls (Psalm 23:3).
Sheep often stray (Isaiah 53:6), but the Shepherd restores the weary and broken.

II. The Shepherd and Our Foes

Psalm 23:4

A. The Reality of the Valley

Valleys are inevitable (Psalm 23:4).
Valleys represent vulnerability, danger, and difficulty.
David experienced valleys of rejection (Psalm 27:10), danger, and sin.

B. The Companionship of the Shepherd

“Thou art with me” (Psalm 23:4).
Comfort comes not from avoiding valleys, but from the Shepherd’s presence.
A shadow cannot harm — and a shadow requires light

(John 8:12).

C. The Confidence in the Shepherd

The rod protects from enemies.
The staff guides, corrects, and rescues.
The enemy must get through the Shepherd first.

III. The Shepherd and Our Future

A. The Communion of the Shepherd

Psalm 23:5

God provides nourishment and fellowship even in the presence of enemies.
The table represents provision, satisfaction, and care.

B. The Certainty of the Shepherd

Psalm 23:6

God’s goodness and mercy follow the believer.
The Shepherd’s care is lifelong and eternal.
The believer will dwell with the Lord forever.

Conclusion – Three Shepherd Truths

Join the Shepherd’s flock
- Salvation begins by knowing the Shepherd personally.
Stay close to the Shepherd
- Sheep nearest the Shepherd are fed and refreshed first.
Follow wherever He leads
- The Shepherd leads in paths of righteousness.

The difference is not knowing the Psalm —but knowing the Shepherd.
