Scripture: Psalm 23, When did David write the 23rd Psalm? There were many events in his life that could have prompted him. And, as we look back on our own lives, we can identify many times that we have been protected in challenging circumstances. Because we are in Christ and have His name from our Baptism, we can claim the 23rd Psalm, all of it. Our Shepherd hides us in God and we have confidence that we shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
