Ever having an off-week? Where life seems to hit you sideways and everything just feels extra: extra scary, extra hard, extra frustrating, extra empty. Me too. (And yes, that’s a lot of extra’s!)

Sounds like the perfect time to lean into our series, “It’s A Psalm 23-Kinda Day.” Join me as we peek into all life’s extra’s with verse 2, “He makes me lie down in green pastures.” Grab your coffee and settle in for a moment of extra encouragement.

Here’s a small excerpt: “He makes me lie down in green pastures, even maketh me sometimes. We might need a “maketh me” moment, and that’s okay.”

Re-entry to reality is a tricky little bugger. After being off-grid hiking for the past 11 days, I missed a few events: a horrific disaster, massive war escalations, and unimaginable evils exposed among Hollywood and political elites. Yep, more than ever, “It’s a Psalm 23-Kinda Day.”

Join me to chat through the back-half of Psalm 23:1, “I shall not be in want.” Let's talk about when our circumstances do leave us wanting or lacking at times. How do we reconcile our reality with Psalm 23? Great question.

Here’s a small excerpt: “Life’s circumstances will throw plenty of evidence at us that our shepherd is far from good, which is why a whole-picture view, a zoomed-out lens through which we read the Scriptures (in their whole context) is necessary. Life comes into focus when the perspective remains on the shepherd…because- well, life leaves us wanting some days.”

Has life been peacefully smooth and simple lately? Mine neither. Seems like there’s definite ups, significant downs, plenty of “meh,” and oh, yeah, something about an election too. Sounds like a great time to immerse ourselves in the beloved Truth of Psalm 23.

Join me for our new series, “It’s a Psalm 23-Kinda Day.” We’ll lay the framework for the next 12 weeks as we discuss Psalm 23:1. Invest in a few moments for peace, comfort, courage, and Truth. Your soul will thank you.

Here’s a small excerpt: “For all the comfort and promises, for all the times we recite these verses at the graveside and the bedside, for all the moments these promises comfort our anxious thoughts and panicked perspectives…it all revolves around this core, this nucleus: “The LORD is my Shepherd,” David writes.”
