The difficult truth of Psalm 23 is that to experience the goodness of God, we need to accept his authority and shepherding.
Moses struggled to accept God’s call because he focused too much on his own inadequacies and fears.
In spite of having Aaron as a mouthpiece, Moses experienced many setbacks in Egypt because they were actually part of God’s plan.
For us, God’s call can include service opportunities, relationship challenges, confession, seeking help, or remaining faithful in a difficult role.
We should remember the Shepherd sometimes asks us to do difficult things, there is a cost to saying no to God, setbacks are typical of God’s plans, and our focus should be on “who am I with?” rather than “who am I?”
