you didn't read it right you read it like it was a question read it like you know it [Applause] so David is out on the plains of the land that he lives in and he is at the end of a particularly difficult day he has been tending his father's sheep all day long he's been making sure that predators did not attack them and that they had the necessary Sesame's of life even at that time all day long he walked with them and he's sitting on the side of the hill and in a moment of reflection he realizes that what he's been doing for Jesse's sheep God has been doing for him all day long and he says with assertiveness the Lord is my shepherd and because of that I shall not want he's telling us that whatever we need he will supply whatever we need him to be because he is our Shepherd what we have to do is follow him follow him follow he is our Shepherd read the next verse [Applause] I spend my life searching for the right place to be spend most of my young years looking to find a place to fit I don't know where to go I don't know where to be I don't know where to live but the Shepherd takes over I picked the wrong pasture one time after another but the Shepherd takes over I don't know what to do what my life is some chapters of my life but the Shepherd takes over sometimes I'm when I don't know what to do he has to make me do some things he makes me lie down in green pastures the things that I'm afraid of those things that I fear sickness even death he leaves me beside still once he does not let me stay afraid for long leads me beside still waters turbulent waters frightened sheep God Jesus our Shepherd leads us beside still waters after he makes me lie down where I need to be coz he is my shepherd what's the next one say stay right there he restores my soul I don't know if you ever been tired in a place that sleep wouldn't fix I don't know if you ever slept for eight hours and woke up tired that's when you're tired in another place that's when your soul is tired and only the Shepherd can give you that time to rest only the Shepherd can restore your soul somebody's soul is under attack this morning but thank God your soul has been saved and because your soul has been saved he can restore your soul what's the next part yet come on y'all say it like you mean it for who say his reputation is on the line he's got to lead me in the right places cuz his name is on the line not for me but for his name cuz he is my shepherd and I shall not one and he leads me beside still was he restores my soul [Applause] what's he saying [Applause] hold it hold it can't be afraid of a shadow shadow key hair Chu so I walk through the valley in the very saddle of death but I fear nothing that's casting the set I'm not afraid of the elements that are hanging out trying to intimidate me that this valley is not for me yeah I ain't in no hurry though I walk I'm not afraid through the valley in the shadow of what thinks it can defeat me I feel no easy cuz my Shepard has already been through the valley and it's come back to get me so I don't fear the valley I have to walk through cuz thou art with me you mean to tell me that no matter what I go through you're there if I'm on the side of the mountain you're there if I'm at the top of the mountain you're there if I'm going through the worst season of my life you're there even when I'm walking through the valley in the shadow of that even when death is trying to intimidate me I will fear no evil because thou art no fear what else does it say wait a minute the rod understand I find comfort in the riders to go upside my head because sometimes I need correction so gotta go upside your head with the straight end of the stick but I realized that the other end of the stick is a hook that when the devil tries to get me when I'm falling into a crack in life he reaches where I can't reach and pulls me out of whatever the devil said there is no trap for the saint so I love your rod and I love you Stan they comfort what's this a watch it's now what's his my enemies are surrounded instead of putting up a defense he sets a thing invite you to sit down and dine where he is cuz he is the shepherd you shall not what he makes you lie down in green pastures he leads you beside still want us I have no fear I understand you chests not who you love but who you love you rescue I understand that when the enemy thinks I'm in his grip I come along and pull you out of that grip David understood what it meant when he rescued just his sheep from the lion and the bear all they can see was the legs hanging out of the Bears mouth and David went up and fought the bear till he let his father's sheep go I don't care whether death thinks it has you or not your Shepherd is gonna free you could there's a place you have to go goodness and mercy shall follow and I will dwell in the house [Applause] God's got the final say God's got the final say and whatever he says is all right with me if I'm at my house I got it if I'm in the house I will dwell in the house of the Lord eternally this place is not only the bridge to purpose it's your bridge to heaven so bridge to life so bridge to healing no matter what happens today me and Joe were walking across the parking lot on Friday having this conversation about how sick he had been and how the medicine was strong he said I feel like I'm getting better and I'm like yeah I don't know what God's preparing you for but one thing I do know healed well in the house of the Lord forever because this one and that one are connected I'm in the house of the Lord right now I'm going to the house of the Lord somebody shot it's the same house [Applause]
