Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lord is My Shepherd; A 12 Step Journey through Psalm 23 is a recovery workbook and bible study. David's personal pronouns in Psalm 23 draws us in to experience God's loving care as our Good Shepherd. We fall in love with Jesus as we come to see ourselves as his beloved sheep. Within the safety of this intimate relationship we take an honest look at ourselves, our thoughts, our behaviors, our feelings, and our problems. The 12 Steps and Pslam 23 when studied together provide the perfect material for this comprehensive recovery process. Whether it's recovery from alcohol and other drug use/abuse, codependency, mental health disorders, process addictions, trauma, or pain from your past, the material is appropriate and designed to heal. Each week includes a wellness recovery action plan and relapse prevention material. It's as if Psalm 23 and The 12 Steps were meant to be studied together. Every line in David's poem is studied for 4 weeks along with one of the 12 Steps. Because there are 12 lines in Psalm 23 and 12 Steps, the material takes us through a 12 month journey. There's no better way to work the 12 Steps than to be guided, comforted, and restored by the Lord as your Shepherd. It's a beautiful recovery journey that will pleasantly surprise you at every turn. As a Licensed Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor with over 20 years experience I can attest to the positive value of this material. Churches, homeless shelters, sober living recovery homes, counseling centers, therapists and individuals use this recovery workbook and bible study resulting in the life-changing knowledge that "He restores my soul."

In Life Without Lack, Dallas Willard revolutionizes our understanding of Psalm 23 by taking this comfortably familiar passage and revealing its extraordinary promises: "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want...Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil." Written with Willard's characteristic gentle wisdom, Life Without Lack helps you experience: God's comforting presence God's abundant generosity Peace and freedom from worry Based on a series of talks by the late author and edited by his friend Larry Burtoft and by his daughter, Rebecca Willard Heatley, Life Without Lack will forever change the way you experience the most well-known passage in all of Scripture. Praise for Life Without Lack: "Dallas Willard helps us to understand that the Twenty-Third Psalm is not meant as a nice sentiment or for kitschy decor, it is for the very thick of our lives, the very moment of crisis. Imagine what our personal lives, families, communities, and politics would look like if we rejected the frantic striving of our day, and instead embraced the life without lack offered to us in Jesus Christ. No one has helped me to imagine and enter into that life more than Dallas Willard. I recommend this book with great joy and hopeful expectation." --Michael Wear, bestselling author of Reclaiming Hope

Well, one day someone wrote in big letters, "HELP." Maybe it was just a joke, but again maybe it was a cry for help. I guess if there is a reason for me writing this book, it would be in case someone is in need of Help. Aid in understanding this Psalm, or encouragement in their walk with the Lord. Help in understanding what God wants for their life. Whatever be the case I hope this writing helps you where you need help. Let me just set the stage to Psalms 23 before even introducing you to this book. The Bible says about King David; the author of this Psalm, that he was a man after God's own heart. With that thought in mind, I want you to imagine this great man and king of Israel, one night going into his bedchamber, maybe even after a great battle, and even after a tiring day. Before resting his head on the pillow, his thoughts are with God, the High and Lofty One who inhabits eternity. The one who has so many times delivered him from the hands of his enemy. The candles are lit the quill is in his hand as he writes the first thoughts on his mind. "The Lord is my Shepherd." And yes, David knew what a shepherd was because as a youth he learns the trade well. Defending the flock against all the perils, delivering them out of the clutch of the lion and bear. All this might have been on his mind as he compared His God with the care of a quiet, unseen shepherd guarding his flock, and maybe looking over him as one cares for a sheep. I thought this might be the best way to start with these thoughts. If our hearts are like David's heart and it seeks after God, I ask you to take a fresh look at what this Psalm is all about. Introduction It was in 2002 and 2003 when we had an in-depth study in Psalms 23 given by Jerry McMillin at the small chapel I attend. This Psalm has only six short verses so that I will cover them in 6 chapters. Out of all the Psalms, I believe this one is the best known. We hear it at many funerals. Many have memorized this one including myself. The thought might be on your mind, how can you get so much out of something so small? A chapter for each verse. I can answer that by saying that God's Word goes deep and sometimes you have to dig deep to find the precious Gems that the Spirit of God buried deep from those that just look on the surface and pass right by them. This book is not replacing this Psalm, but It will help you in understanding it. Think of it as a flashlight as you go into an underground mine filled with treasures that you might overlook. With flashlight in hand let us go in search of these treasures. When writing about spiritual things it takes much meditation because it is hard to write about things you can see, feel, touch, smell, hear, or taste but by comparing all the physical things to spiritual we can start to understand things we cannot see. We live in two parallel worlds, the physical and spiritual. The seen and the unseen. We are walking in both simultaneously, but sometimes we don't even realize it.

Download or read book Psalm 23 Bible Study written by Betsy Wise and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-09 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: King David sinned. He stepped away from God. He hung out in the palace when kings go to battle. With idleness as his companion, his eyes wander and fixate on a beautiful woman. Lust takes over and he must have her as his own--the wife of another. Then after his folly, she announces her pregnancy to David. Sexual sin grows into schemes of murder. He places Uriah, Bathsheba's husband, in a battlefront position so he is killed. How could this happen? How could this same king write the Shepherd Psalm? He knew God intimately in his younger years as he tended sheep and followed God's voice to safe harbors. But, in a moment of passion, he exchanged spiritual training for fleeting moments of pleasure. Has that happened to you? Does Psalm 23 remind you of times when God lovingly nudged you closer to him? Do you long for more contentment but take detours away from God? Are there muddy streams and broken cisterns you need to sidestep? Do you veer from paths of righteousness and long for mountaintop experiences when stationed in life's dales and basins? How do you run to God for a reapplication of His soothing presence? Psalm 23 Bible Study, The Lord As My Shepherd, answers these questions. You'll discover how to stay clear of danger by remaining in your Shepherd's embrace. Author Betsy Wise focuses on Psalm 23's message line by line to reveal its meaning. To be precise, that the Shepherd/sheep connection is one continuous path of assurance--a path God wants to shepherd.
