It’s easy to get swept away by our emotions when our environment changes. Circumstances don’t change God, but they may reveal Him to us in new ways. When We Are Messengers sing “Come What May,” I am reminded that I can rely on God no matter what.
David sings about this same thing in Psalm 23. Let’s explore it together.

This Week’s Challenge
Spend some time in Psalm 23 yourself this week. Read it repetitively. Try reading it in various translations to see if details that you may have missed before jump out at you. Spend some time meditating on the text, taking into consideration the environments/circumstances described. Don’t be afraid to use your imagination as you picture the scenes in your mind.
