READ

Psalm 23:1-6 (NLT)

A psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. 2 He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. 3 He renews my strength. He guides me along the right paths, bringing honor to his name. 4 Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. 5 You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. 6 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

1 John 4:9-19 (NLT)

9 God showed how much he loved us by sending his one and only Son into the world so that we might have eternal life through him. 10 This is real love—not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as a sacrifice to take away our sins.

REFLECT

Our God honors us with His love. Psalm 23 teaches us that He will guide, protect and provide. His love is unfailing. His love is constant. His love is ours to accept but never to lose.

APPLY

Q: When will you receive God’s love?

Q: How do you respond to God’s love?

Q: How are you sharing the love of Psalm 23?
