So I did get to preach for two weeks in a row, after all. I missed leading worship, but it was great fun just to play bass in the band and then deliver a sermon from another Psalm. We intended to make the two weeks in which Nick was gone into a two-part sermon series: one on delight in our calling and another on delight in our circumstances. I chose the much-loved 23 Psalm to preach this week, proclaiming that we can have delight in all circumstances because of our Good Shepherd.
Psalm 23 is the Psalm of David, a former shepherd boy trusting in his own Shepherd and the path He had laid out the house He was building for him. It's also a song of Jesus, the God/Man who trusted in his father and the path He had laid out to His own house and throne. Finally, it is the song of every Christian who trusts our Shepherd King and walks the dark path to the home He is preparing for us.
Perhaps my favorite moment of the day was when a little girl named Chloe showed me her sermon notes. Her summary of a 35-minute sermon was this: "God is the best He will never leave your side not for one minit."
