Each day, believers are presented with a profound and enduring invitation: to walk with the Shepherd, our Good Shepherd, Jesus. Our Shepherd guides us and protects us, and when we walk with the Shepherd, we walk in paths of righteousness.
The Bible is full of encouragement and insight for walking with the Good Shepherd, Jesus. In this 16-day series, Psalm 23 will provide our framework for considering just how to walk with Jesus. Each day will include one verse from Psalm 23, and find resonant passages throughout the Bible.
