Psalm 23

For Sunday 12th March, Third Sunday in Lent

The lectionary many churches use, like a nanny with young children, ‘sanitises’ the readings from Scripture to avoid upsetting people. Well, Psalm 95 does need a ‘trigger warning’, and what follows would be censored in many churches. But Lent is a time when we should face up to the disturbing things about God in the Bible, and in turn let ourselves be disturbed – but it is wiser and safer to be disturbed in the presence of God than simply be perplexed by the troubles of the world.
