Do you feel like you have a lot of problems? Here's Nancy DeMas Walgamuth.

I don't care what your problems may be. I mean, I do care, but regardless of what your problems may be,

it will always be true that you have more blessings than problems. This is the Reviver Hearts

podcast with Nancy DeMas Walgamuth, author of

A 30 Day Walk with God Through the Psalms. For June 15th, 2020, I'm Dana Gresh.

So imagine being in a foreign country that is experiencing unrest and the safest place to go is your embassy.

When you arrive, your hosts will do everything in their power to protect you from what's going on outside.

In a world of unrest and fear, we have a chance to get away and find

protection in the presence of God. Nancy will explain more, continuing in the series,

The Lord is My Shepherd. Well, I hope that you'll never see the 23rd Psalm quite the same way again,

and it will take on even greater life and meaning to you

if you will not only follow along in this series, but if you'll be reading the passage

yourself day after day, meditating on each phrase as I have been, you'll find that your

shepherd has some rich things he wants to share with you. We've seen that because the Lord is

our shepherd, we have no lack. We've seen that because the Lord is our shepherd, we have no

lack. We've seen him making us to lie down in green pastures and leading us beside still waters,

providing rest and refreshment for our souls. We've seen his ability to restore our souls when we're

weak or we're wayward. We've seen that he leads us in right

paths, and that even when we walk through those valleys, those inevitable valleys of deep darkness,

that we have no reason to fear. Even when evil surrounds us, we don't have to be afraid. Why?

Because he is with us, for you are with me.

And then how God uses his rod and his staff to bring comfort to us, to instruct us and guide us and protect us and deliver us in trouble. Now as we come to verse five, we see what may be a change in the Psalm.
