Last week’s episode with Leigh Mackenzie touched on Psalm 23:4 and I’m so excited about what I learned during the deep dive of this verse!
“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” (ESV).
Sandra Joseph joined me for this precious time of study and I’m excited for you to hear what we discovered in this oft quoted Bible verse.
We discussed:
- our initial thoughts of different words used in a few translations
- we wondered what true comfort truly looked like
- several words in their original language and their deeper meanings
- the words of a few heartfelt commentators
- what we learned about God and His role as our Shepherd
- how we both personally experience true comfort
- the message of her book What He Asks: My Journey of Finding God Faithful through Chronic Illness
We mentioned (and highly recommend!) the ReNEW writer’s conference. You can follow them at https://renewwriting.com and on Instagram renewwriting.
