God was described as;
A King
Glorious

How does relationship with Jesus bring a truely fulfilled life? (Not as the World defines it, but as the Creator does.)

Spiritual restoration
But we need to focus full time - a constant relationship with the Shepherd
vs 3, 4
The Lord gives us a moral compass. He shows us how to live according to His wishes.
The rod - used to protect.
The staff - the Crook - used to correct - guide the sheep when they go astray.
vs 5, 6
The eternal comfort as a result of the Shepherd's triumph.

Psalm 23
God Provides
God Guides
God Triumphs

The Psalm is popular at the side of death beds and funerals.
It provides comfort and hope.
Not just a psalm for the dying. It's also a psalm for the living.
God will not desert those who follow Him.

Cat vs Dog
Cat - thinks they are God
Dog - Thinks their owner is God
vs 3
His Name's sake.
Doesn't just list our comforts, but the focus is on the Shepherd.

Jesus is not here just to enrich your life. He is here to Be your life.

You need to be lead to the still waters
You need the rod
you need the staff
It's about relationship with the Eternal Shepherd.
