Bible Question: WHAT THE 23RD NUMBER WAS WRITTEN WHAT HAD DAVID GONE THROUGH? WHAT WAS HIS REASON FOR WRITTING IT? |
Bible Answer: There is a very interesting book written by Phillip Keller called, "A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23" published by Inspiration Press. It gives you a feeling of Psalm 23 from both the sheep and their shepherd's point of view, written by a man that studied both for years. The aspects of a shepherd's life combined with natural actions of sheep the author brings up makes Psalm 23 explode before your eyes. I would recommend reading this book by anyone that had an interest in understanding David and Psalm 23 better. One point I hold onto to is where the author was discussing verse 4 "Yea though I walk through the valley...", the author said, "a good shepard will never take his flock where he had not already been before. The good shepherd goes on ahead to insure safe passage of his sheep." What a wonderful truth! Be blessed and be a blessing Ed |
