From the lush meadows of its countryside to the cobblestone streets of its cities, there is something to delight the senses everywhere we turn in Ireland. So journey with us to Emerald Crossing: An Irish Adventure Through Psalm 23.
Every stop along our path will teach us about the Good Shepherd and how he cares for his sheep. Like David discovered throughout his life, first as a shepherd and later as a king, we’ll discover important truths such as:
- I can be a child of God and have the Lord as my shepherd.
- I need the Lord to lead me on the right path through His Word.
- I can turn to the Lord for comfort when I’m feeling anxious or afraid.
- I can have an attitude of gratitude in every situation.
- I need to be on the lookout for God’s goodness and mercy, my traveling companions through life.
