One of the biggest treasures that King David left us is his writings. He wrote most of the Book of Psalms during his reign over Israel. He wrote roughly 80 of the 150 songs that we find in this book. One of his most famous psalms and my favorite is Psalm 23. Even though no one knows for sure when King David wrote this psalm, many think that he probably wrote it when he was grief-stricken and heart-broken due to the loss of his son Absalom. He may have written it during the civil war caused by Absalom's rebellion or right after his death. The exact timing or place truly does not matters. What matters is that he left us this beautiful gift. How many times have we been comforted by these beautiful words when we are going through a difficult time in our lives.
On this Palm Sunday, when we begin Holy Week, let's meditate on this beautiful psalm while giving thanks to our Shepherd because He always looks out for us.
