Welcome to Living Word Cast! I’m Pastor Michael Chilcott, coming to you from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. This podcast exists to proclaim, teach, and explore the Word of God together. Our goal is to provide sound theological and biblical guidance on all things Scripture, helping you grow deeper in your understanding of the Bible and your relationship with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Whether you’re seeking answers, encouragement, or a closer walk with God, this podcast is here to help you stay firmly rooted in the truth of God’s Word.

Today, we’re going to focus on one of the most beloved and comforting psalms: Psalm 23. This psalm is attributed to King David, a man who knew what it was to face danger, uncertainty, and deep personal struggles. Yet, in this psalm, we see David’s deep trust and confidence in the Lord. It’s a powerful reminder of God's care and provision for His people, even in the most difficult times.

Psalm 23 speaks of God as our Shepherd, a theme that runs deeply through the Scriptures. Today, we will reflect on each verse in detail, draw out its meaning, and apply it to our lives.

Let’s start by reading Psalm 23:

Psalm 23 (ESV):

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.He leads me beside still waters.

3 He restores my soul.He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil,for you are with me;your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;you anoint my head with oil;my cup overflows.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
