2. Samuēla 11:4

Through these daily readings, discover who the real King David of the Bible was. Both noble and wretched, neither a saint nor a monster, at times victorious and other times a failure, David was through it all a man after God's own heart.

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.

Do you ever just feel flat? You’re not alone—even King David ran out of joy. Start reading part five of the six-part Stay Positive series and rekindle your enthusiasm.
