Big Idea Of This Series: The Psalms are a collection of worship songs used by believers for thousands of years. This four-week series will give us a brief overview of the Psalms and what we can learn and apply to our lives from each of their books.
Psalms 23:1-6 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, 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.
