David’s timeless words remind us that we are led, protected, and provided for by our Good Shepherd—Jesus. 🙏 Reflecting on each promise, we see how God restores our souls, offers us peace, and leads us through life’s challenges.

But there’s more: as we experience His care, we’re also invited to “shepherd” those around us. Whether guiding our children, mentoring colleagues, or nurturing friendships, we can reflect the Shepherd’s love and goodness. 🤝🌱

This season, let Psalm 23 bring hope, renewing your trust in God’s constant presence. Discover the joy, mercy, and provision He longs to pour into your life. Tune in and step into the coming year with the Good Shepherd’s promises lighting your way. 

In this heartfelt episode, we explore what it means to live with hope in the face of devastating loss. After a recent fire destroyed our home, we understandably experienced grief—but also found unexpected blessings amidst the ashes. 🙏
