Table of Psalm 23
Psalms 23:1-6 NASB 1 The Lord is my shepherd, I will not be in need. 2 He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. 3 He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For the sake of His name. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I 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 have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. 6 Certainly goodness and faithfulness will follow me all the days of my life, And my dwelling will be in the house of the Lord forever.

Questions:
1. How might understanding the purpose of difficult times change the way you approach them?

3. If the table that the Shepherd prepares symbolizes a next season, why is it important to know that the Lord does this preparation with our enemies present?
