Lesson Topic– The Attributes of God
Text- Psalms 23:1-6
1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
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 your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.

B.- The rod and staff of God keeps us in line when we allow him
C.- The valley is dark, deep, and the presence of death is all around you. But it is in the valley where Jesus become the “Lily of the Valley” in your life. Somethings you have to grow through.
Notice that the anointing does not come until you have been through the valley. In addition, overflow does not come until you have been through the valley.

I am going to stay with God and worship and praise him in his House forever! In the Hebrew language David is saying I am going to worship in the Temple for as long as he lives. What is your response?
