If the LORD is my Shepherd, what is the daily experience of His tender care? Through David's poetic imagery, we see that the care of God restores me to the depths of my being.

We all want to live a life that matters. The quest for meaning is one of the most universal human instincts. For six weeks, we explore one of the most famous passages in the Bible and listen as King David reflects on finding and experiencing a life worth living.

Christians rightly celebrate Easter as a day with cosmic implications. And yet, on that first Easter, those first witnesses started the day feeling anything other than victorious or celebratory. On that first Easter, Jesus shepherded with tenderness those first witnesses and shows us the humility and love our cosmic savior displays for those struggling with their faith.

Once again, David speaks to his soul -- this time, he encourages his soul to trust in the LORD, to worship the LORD, and to rejoice in the LORD. The text is incredibly relevant to us today, as David's hopes see their fulfillment in Christ Jesus.

David stands in awe of God's comprehensive, limitless knowledge. Free from the need to run or hide, David has faith that his sins will not prevail over God's love.

We fear the shame of not measuring up. What if there was a way to face that reality with hope for forgiveness and redemption?

The imprecatory psalms, such as Psalm 58, are angry psalms calling for devastating wrongs to be made right. They also help us with our anger and what to do with it.

So many of us have learned to dismiss painful experiences, especially those out of our control. The Psalms give us a better tool to hold the tension of a good, sovereign God and a deeply broken world.

David is no stranger to fear. In Psalm 27, he doesn't avoid his fear or succumb to it. He shows us the reason God created us to feel fear.
