Source: ChurchWiseAI78 wordsAI-crafted by ChurchWiseAI

Miss Clara teaches Elizabeth that the Shepherd is also warrior—the rod and staff aren't just comfort but weapons against the enemy. Pentecostal theology sees Psalm 23 with spiritual warfare lens: "I will fear no evil"—because the Shepherd defeats evil; the table before enemies is victory celebration; anointing is Spirit empowerment. "Your rod and your staff, they comfort me"—the Shepherd fights for His sheep. Elizabeth learns the Shepherd's active protection. Declare Psalm 23; the Good Shepherd defends His flock.
