CLAIMED AND KEPT

Psalm 23:1–2 | 23 & Me: Deep Dive

What does it mean to belong to the Shepherd, and what happens when He invites us to rest?

In this Bible study, Rev. Austin J. Young explores Psalm 23:1–2 and the assurance that we are claimed, known, and kept by God. The Shepherd does not simply tell us to slow down. He leads us into the kind of rest that restores our souls, settles our hearts, and begins to bring peace to the situations surrounding us.

Sometimes God changes what is happening around us. Other times, He changes what is happening within us so that the chaos no longer controls us. Either way, the Shepherd is present, providing what we need and leading us beside still waters.

You are not forgotten. You are not wandering alone. You belong to the Shepherd.
