Ever feel surrounded by enemies? God doesn't just rescue you—He prepares a feast right in their presence! Psalm 23:5 reveals how the Good Shepherd goes ahead to prepare everything you need before you even arrive. What battles are you fighting in your own strength instead of trusting His provision? Pastor Rusty helps you discover how the Good Shepherd prepares a feast for you in the presence of your enemies in this message in our series, Chasing Green Pastures. 

In Psalm 23:4, we discover the profound comfort of God's presence in our darkest valleys. As our Good Shepherd, God doesn't just point the way through difficult times—He walks beside us. The shepherd's rod represents God as our protector, examiner, and corrector, while the staff shows Him as our rescuer, connector, and guide. Valley experiences aren't destinations but passages to higher ground. Whatever challenges we face, we can take comfort in the Lord who is there is walking with us through every trial.
