Welcome to 15 Minutes in the Word with New York Times best-selling author Joyce Meyer.

On today's program, Joyce will be teaching from her series Psalm 23, The Lord is My Shepherd.

We all have moments in life when we feel overwhelmed, times when we need direction and protection.

The psalmist David experienced these feelings, yet he also knew the one who could lead

him through life's dark valleys.

David knew that as our good shepherd, God wants to provide for us every single day.

Today Joyce takes a deeper look at David's Psalm 23, breaking it down verse by verse, revealing

the freedom we can have when we follow God's leading.

Now, here's Joyce with today's teaching.

Open your Bible up, please, to Psalm 23.

And before we ever begin this teaching tonight or this series of teachings for the whole

weekend, I hope you get to be here for more than one session

because I am a teacher and I like to have more than one opportunity

to get my point across.

I feel like there's many different ways that you can come at a subject

and it takes us a while sometimes to get into the depth of it.

So I'm going to be teaching this weekend on the 23rd Psalm.

There's so many wonderful lessons on that.

I've only done this one other time in my life,

and I felt like that God wanted me to bring it fresh here.

It's been many years.

Let's see, the last time I did this was 2003.
