A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23 by W. Phillip Keller
5.0
What did David really mean when he compared God to a shepherd? This is a question W. Phillip Keller, former shepherd and pastor, seeks to answer.
Over the course of the book, his anecdotes from years of shepherding bring unexpected depth to Psalm 23. I didn’t realize how little I knew about sheep! I appreciated how he related his insights in multiple ways to each line of the poem, while also adding practical notes of how that should affect our daily lives.
Do goodness and mercy follow us in our day-to-day interactions?
Are we choosing to wander or wisely stay where we know we’ll be refreshed and renewed?
Are we overcome with worries or seeking peace with others and ourselves?
If you’ve meditated and memorized Psalm 23, I believe this devotional classic can shed new light on both the passage and on our understanding of Christ as the Good Shepherd. It deserves its impressively high rating of Goodreads, and is one I recommend adding to your bookshelf if you want to explore more of God’s nurturing character.
”For when all is said and done on the subject of a successful Christian walk, it can be summed up in one sentence: Live ever aware of God’s presence.”
