The Believer's Rest

 

Shepherd

I like the opening of this Psalm as labeled by the King James translators, “David’s confidence in God’s grace.” This is the overarching theme behind this psalm, where we receive the believer’s rest. Though most of the language is about a shepherd taking care of his sheep, it truly is about God’s grace manifested through the Great Shepherd, Jesus. Keep this theme in mind as we look at the various verses.
