Late one afternoon, after his midday rest, David got out of bed and was walking on the roof of the palace. As he looked out over the city, he noticed a woman of unusual beauty taking a bath. He sent someone to find out who she was, and he was told, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” Then David sent messengers to get her; and when she came to the palace, he slept with her. She had just completed the purification rites after having her menstrual period. Then she returned home.

In this fourth message of our series on Psalm 23, we consider the way that the Shepherd cares for us when we are in the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Whether we face physical or spiritual death or hardship, in Christ we need not fear. With His rod and staff, the Shepherd provides for our comfort.
