Life Walk Bible Lesson 3 — Part 4
The Reward for Trusting in God
Psalm 23:1-6 Septuagint [LXX, English translation]
1 “The Lord tends me as a Shepherd, and I shall want nothing.
2 In a place of green grass, there He has made me dwell: He has nourished me by the waters of rest.
3 He has restored my soul: He has guided me into the paths of righteousness, for His name’s sake.
4 Yea, even if I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not be afraid of evils: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, these have comforted me.
5 Thou hast prepared a table before me in presence of them that afflict me: Thou hast thoroughly anointed my head with oil: and Thy cup cheers me like the best wine.
6 Thy mercy also shall follow me all the days of my life: and my dwelling shall be in the house of the Lord for a very long time.”
A rod of iron is for the wicked, which will break their hold on, and oppression of, the righteous.
For the righteous, the rod and staff are a means of guidance, comfort, and even rescue in times of trouble, as King David says, in Psalm 23:4 (NIV) “I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”
The Septuagint translation gives the idea that the comfort David spoke of was a memory that kept him believing that God would do it again, and again, and always.
Revelation 2:26-29 [AMP]
26 “And he who overcomes [the world through believing that Jesus is the Son of God] and he who keeps My deeds [doing things that please Me] until the [very] end, to him I will give authority and power over the nations;
27 and he shall shepherd and rule them with a rod of iron, as the earthen pots are broken in pieces, as I also have received authority [and power to rule them] from My Father;
28 and I will give him the Morning Star.
29 He who has an ear, let him hear and heed what the Spirit says to the churches.’”
Revelation 22:16
“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you and to give you assurance of these things for the churches. I am the Root (the Source, the Life) and the Offspring of David, the radiant and bright Morning Star.”
