King David, wrote the Twenty-Third Psalm, a classic and enduring affirmation of his confidence in the LORD during a very straitened and stressful time in his own life.  While consisting of only six stanzas and one hundred fifteen words, the reach and relevance of the Twenty Third psalm spans generations of believers who have been encouraged by this profound pastoral portrait.  In stanza five, David acknowledges that he is living a sheltered life.  Because “the LORD is our Shepherd”, this type of life is the birthright and blessing of every child of God.  This message shares why!
