Sermon Notes:


PSALM 23:5 ESV

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

I. THE BLESSING OF HIS PEACE

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. (Ps 23:5 ESV)

"Peace is not the absence of problems. Peace is the presence of Jesus."


II. THE BLESSING OF HIS AFFECTION

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. (Ps 23:5 ESV)

“What an incredible transformation this would make among the sheep. Once the oil had been applied to the sheep’s head, there was an immediate change in behavior. Gone was the aggravation, gone the frenzy, gone the irritability and the restlessness. Instead, the sheep would start to feed quietly again, then soon lie down in peaceful contentment.” — W. Philip Keller

“Though the shepherd loves all of his flock, he loves them one by one.”

God has given man more sky than he can see,
More seas than he can sail,
More sun that he can bear to watch,
More stars than he can scale,
More breath than he can breathe,
More yield than he can sow,
More grace than he can comprehend,
More love than he can know.

“Blessed are they who see the beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.”

2 CORINTHIANS 9:8 ESV

8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.


III. THE BLESSING OF SATISFACTION

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. (Ps 23:5 ESV)
