How do sheep end up in a dark valley? Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth tells us,

The shepherd leads them there for the purpose of getting them up to higher ground.

And when you get into this kind of valley, maybe you're in one right now.

I want to encourage you to remember why you're there.

Now, if you got there because of your own sin and willfulness and rebellion, then you need a

shepherd to restore your soul. But maybe you got there following your shepherd, following his voice.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgamuth, author of Dwell,

For October 8th, 2025, I'm Dana Gresh.

How you rate your level of wonder at the Word of God?

Nancy's hoping she can raise it.

We're listening to a preview of Nancy's upcoming series, Wonder of the Word.

In 2027, she'll be teaching through the entire Bible book by book. And today's sneak peek is from a well-loved

Old Testament passage. Here's Nancy. Well, today we come to what is definitely the most familiar

psalm in the whole 150 Psalms in the scripture. And maybe one of the most familiar passages

in all of God's word, and that is Psalm

23. So if you're following along in your scripture, and you can open to that, that's what we're

going to look at today. Now, Psalm 23 falls in the middle of three Psalms of David that form a

trilogy, Psalm 22, 23, and 24. These three Psalms, in an unusual way,

point to David's greater son, the Messiah. So in the last session, we looked at Psalm 22, and there

we see Jesus prophetically depicted as the suffering Savior.

And then we come to Psalm 23, and we see him depicted as the good shepherd.
