Psalm 23 is a powerful journal entry by David that emphasizes themes of comfort, rest, and guidance provided by God, portrayed as a shepherd. Chris appreciates the Psalms for their stand-alone thoughts and feelings, likening them to personal journal entries of his own. Hear how this Psalm resonates Chris’s life experiences, particularly feelings of insecurity and the journey of personal growth. The passage explores the idea of rest in God, drawing parallels to Jesus’s invitation to the weary.

Chris poses three key questions regarding one's life journey:

1. **What do you lack?** - Emphasizing trust in God as a source of rest and assurance that believers "lack nothing" under His guidance.

2. **Where is your life directing you?** - Highlighting the importance of recognizing the narrow paths leading to Jesus, who offers abundant life despite life's challenges.

3. **Are you being a participant or a spectator?** - Encouraging engagement in one's relationship with God, living with purpose, and finding peace amid struggles.
