Scripture Meditation: Psalm 23
It’s important to connect what you’re learning about shepherding and leadership to what we find in the Bible. Spend some time carefully reading the Scripture passage below, utilizing the simple three-step method of Receive, Reflect, and Respond. Write your answers in your personal reflection journal.
Read Psalm 23 slowly. Then read it again.
Receive | Retell in your own words what is happening in this text.
What is being described? Who are the characters and what are they saying or doing? Does the text tell us why they are doing or saying these things?
Read the passage again.
Reflect | Consider how this text contributes to God’s identity and work as Chief Shepherd.
What can we learn about God and His relationship to humans from this text? Does this text bring to mind other passages of Scripture?
Read the passage one last time.
Respond | Connect this text to your own experience.
What can you learn about your own identity? How might this text change the way you relate to God or other people? How can you act on what you’ve learned?
