Do you REALLY know Psalm 23, or just the first few lines?

Could you recite it word for word, right now, without peeking?

Friend, this week we are tackling Psalm 23 from my beloved King James Version, and instead of a letter technique I am using a storytelling method. Six verses become six vivid pictures: you standing with the Shepherd, lying down in green pastures, being led beside the still waters, walking through the valley, sitting at a table God has prepared, and goodness and mercy following you all the days of your life. Each picture comes with a little memory hook, like the two he's in verse 2, the four pieces of verse 4 and the six letters in the word surely, and the pictures link together so the story carries you from one verse to the next. Plus, why I am not saying God hid a secret code in the number six (it is a delight and a handle for your memory!), and why we do not get stuck in the valley, we walk through it.
