If your happiness is based on earthly things, you will be stuck in the “Prison of Want”. However, in today’s sermon, Howard uses Psalm 23 to show us how we can be free from this prison by following the lead of our Shepherd who loves his sheep and gives his life to protect them and ensure their happiness. We are reminded that there is a part of us that only God can fill and, like sheep following their shepherd, we need to follow God’s lead because we can’t get to where God wants us if we are only focusing on ourselves.
