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.

John chapter 10. Let's look at a few scriptures here. The Lord is my shepherd.

See, that would just be enough just to hear that. You could say amen and go home. The Lord is my

shepherd. He wants to be involved in everything.

He cares about helping me comb my hair, how I bowl, driving to work.

He's not just in on the big stuff.

He wants to be in on everything in your cute little life.

Did you hear me?

Everything.

God wants to, he cares about every, every, every, everything

that concerns you. Everything. And that's just like so shocking when you're just religious,

because we think it's about, well, read a chapter a day and say a prayer and go to church on Sunday

and do a few good works and, man, hope you go to heaven,

but not sure you'll make it.
