37 Youth Section THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD Sandeep Poonen Question: Can you please help me understand the meaning of Psalm 23? For example, why does the Shepherd make me lie down in green pastures rather than make me eat there? Answer: Verse 1: The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. I shall not want can be paraphrased as I do not have lack. This is definitely not support for the prosperity gospel of earthly riches. Reading this whole chapter reveals somebody who goes through difficult circumstances but can still testify to a God who provides all his needs. So the sheep of God are not ones exempt from very hard circumstances, but ones who even still proclaim, I do not have any lack with God as my altogether Good Shepherd! Verse 2: He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. What does a sheep typically do in green pastures? Eat!!! But that s not what the Good Shepherd makes His sheep do. He makes us lie down and rest when our instincts tell us to eat. He teaches us to rest in Him first of all, rather than immediately satisfying our appetites. And He brings us to a place of rest alongside quiet waters rather than allowing us to drink at the first sight of water (He satisfies our thirst and hunger later, and in a much better way). The first day of Adam/Eve s existence was a day of rest (the 7 th day of creation). So Adam/Eve s first day wasn t spent being fruitful or multiplying or even ruling over the rest of creation even those were all commanded by God. They spent their first day resting with God; this came first! God desires sheep who long for the company of the Good Shepherd most of all. Such sheep are not WORRIED about their provisions. They know He will provide that for them, so they prioritize resting with Him and putting Him first (Matthew 6:33). Verse 3: He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name s sake. The Shepherd makes us lie down in the place where sheep normally eat, and leads us besides the still waters where sheep normally quench their thirst, because He is most of all interested in the RESTORATION of our souls. He will not deprive us of our physical needs. But He is firm about P\p-hcn 2015 Poh-sam-gn-Iƒ 37

38 YOUTH SECTION the right priorities. He knows that the restoration of our souls is of primary importance. So I am wise if I refuse to think of God as a mean puppet-master. He is altogether good. And no matter what my complaints and grumblings are, God remains steadfast in His purpose to restore my soul from all the poison of sin that plagues me, and my selfish tendency to set my mind on earthly things and thereby destroy myself. Verse 4a: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; A sister who had recently lost her husband through tragic circumstances shared this with me: God does not lead us through the dark valley of death; He leads us through the dark valley of the SHADOW of death. Toddlers might be intimidated by their own shadow, but not adults. A shadow poses no threat. So also, there is no sting in death, because the sting of death is sin (1 Corinthians 15:55-57) and our sins have been cleansed by Jesus s blood for those who believe. Freedom from the fear of evil and the shadow of death is found in God s presence (You are with me). Our advance preparation for these dark trials is to simply grow in our trust of God and His Word. None of us are promised exemption from evil or death. But all of us who believe in Jesus Christ can find freedom from the paralyzing fear of evil and death. Verse 4b: Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. The Shepherd s staff yanks me out of harm s way, and rescues me from the briars of sin that I might be entangled 38 Poh-sam-gn-Iƒ P\p-hcn 2015 in. So there is clear comfort in His staff. But His rod is less enjoyable (Hebrews 12:11). It corrects me in areas of small disobediences, and rebukes me for even minor ways where I seek my own will rather than the Shepherd s will. But I must grow in valuing the need for and even finding the comfort of His rod. As I walk with Jesus, I must recognize that His rod is critical to protect and mature me. So I don t draw back from His correction, and even find comfort (security) in His loving protective correction. Verse 5: You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; my cup overflows. The Good Shepherd does not have me eat the green pastures (He makes me lie down there) or drink from the still waters (He guides me beside them). There s a very good reason for this: He has a home-cooked feast waiting for us, and in a much better setting. This is just like a loving Dad who ignores his child s tearful requests to buy food at the various stores they pass by on their way home, because he knows that the boy s mother is preparing all the child s favorite foods at home. Once the child sees the feast and the endless drinks at home, he will forget all thoughts of complaints of the Dad s earlier refusals. Such is the feast God prepares for us. But the feast is all the more special because it is set in the most remarkable of places: IN THE PRES- ENCE OF OUR ENEMIES. Just imagine how a sheep might fantasize with thoughts of revenge to-

39 wards the wolves. Imagine how a sheep would LOVE to somehow avenge all the torment it faces from the wolves. How it might wish for the strength to utterly crush the next wolf that attacks it, rather than constantly running away and even losing loved ones to the wolves. Here s the torment the Good Shepherd has in mind for our enemies: He makes all our enemies (the wolves of the devil and his forces) line up. And in the presence of these salivating wolves, He prepares a feast along with overflowing cups for me. The wolves are tortured as they are forced to watch, salivating but helpless because they cannot touch me. The Good Shepherd has disarmed the enemy, and they re forced to sit there and be humiliated by God s favor on me (Colossians 2:13-15). In the presence of my enemies, God makes a public display of His great favor to me by anointing my head with the oil of His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not some small gift from God; He is part the Triune God Himself. So the Holy Spirit Himself is poured out on me (Romans 5:5). This is so much better than a King giving me His signet ring of authority and power. This is the King giving His very Self (His Divine Nature - 2 Peter 1:4) to me. Verse 6a: Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, Now what happens when I get up from such a table, anointed with the Holy Spirit and full from feasting and drinking of the goodness of God (all in the presence of my enemies)? I will YOUTH A\p-`hw SECTION get up filled to overflowing and DRIP- PING with the goodness and the lovingkindness of God. So as I continue my journey, this is the trail that I leave behind me. Yes, I surely leave a trail of godly character and godly virtues. But that is not the essence of the trail left behind by the sheep of God. The sheep of God have nothing to boast in themselves, except of GOD S goodness and lovingkindness towards them. This is the lasting memory (trail) that they leave behind: Ones who have been restored, drenched, and empowered by the goodness and lovingkindness of God. Verse 6b: And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. But none of these things above is my goal. My goal is singular: To be at home with the Lord. So my goal is not the green pastures or the still waters. And my goal is not the humiliation of my enemies as I am blessed by God. And neither is my goal the trail of lovingkindness and goodness that I leave behind. That is all part of my legacy and my life, but this is not my goal or my glory. My goal is simply to dwell in the house of the Lord forever. So I am single-minded and purposeful to pursue this one thing: To dwell in God s house forever. His company (and where He lives) is all that I seek. HE ALONE AND HIS COM- PANY ALONE is what I seek. I pray that the Lord will help us live this blessed life.

43 GIVE ME YOUR WORD David Wilkerson Multitudes of Christians today are what I call bread believers they live on bread alone, always asking God to prove His faithfulness. They have a hunger inside and they think they know what will satisfy it. For most of my early years in ministry, I was a bread Christian. I had a deep hunger, driven by unexplainable need. When I thought I needed a new church, I got it! When I believed I needed a TV program, I got it! When I needed turn-away crowds, I got them! These were all good things in themselves, but I spent years praying, God, prove Your power! I m in debt, so send me money! Bless me, Lord! Bless my ministry! Answer my prayers! Let me prove to the world You have all power. Heal the sick to prove You are still the same today! So seldom does God find a Christian whose only goal in life is to know and to do His will as Jesus did and who never says, God, where are You? but instead prays, God, where am I in this matter of obedience and dependence? When we stand before the judgment seat, we will not be judged by how many healings we ve performed, or how many demons we ve cast out, or how many prayers we ve seen answered, or how many great works we ve accomplished. We will be judged on our dependence on and obedience to His Word and to His will. In our day and age, we have become very good at commanding God. We command the devil and demons; we command strongholds to fall. That is all good but think about how often we cry out, Oh, God! Command me! Tell me what to do. Show me how to do Your will, how to obey every word out of Your mouth. Through everything, God is saying to us, I want to be your only supply, your only hope. I want to be your only object of trust. My cry is, Oh, God, You take care of the money. Just give me Your mind. You take care of my health, my family, my needs just give me Your Word.
