This morning at Redeemer I preached on Hebrews 4:11-13 - "The Bible Is a Two Edged Sword." (You can listen HERE.)
I spoke on the Word of God being living and active. It gets inside a person. It goes deep in the heart. (See the slides HERE.)
I shared how I have used Psalm 23 in my seminary classes, at retreats and conferences, in churches, etc.
I felt led to invite our people to do Five Days with Psalm 23. This Monday (June 2) through Friday (June 6). One-half hour each of the five days.
Use this format below.
If any of you feel led to share with me what God says to you during these times, send an email. johnpiippo@msn.com
Blessings!

30
MINUTES with Psalm 23 and God
-
John
Piippo, PhD
Go alone to a
quiet place, where there are few distractions, and meet with God. .
Turn your cell
phone off.
When you find
your quiet place stay there for 30 minutes.
When God speaks
to you about you, write it down. (A spiritual journal is a record of God’s
voice and activity in your life.)
Use Psalm 23
for your meditation. Biblically, to meditate is to ponder something. Meditation
is repetitive.
If your mind wanders, write down where it wanders to. It
always wanders to some kind of burden.
PSALM
23
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul;
He leads me in paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of
death, I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the
presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil, My cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.
