Psalm 23 is a beautiful analogy that compares a Christian's relationship with God to that of a sheep and its shepherd. The "rod" or "staff" was carried by the shepherd to serve as tool of protection and guidance for the flock. The rod was used to fight of predators and the staff was used to point wandering sheep in the right direction or to pull straying sheep back into the fold. These symbols can be applied to the life of a Christian when considering God's protection and correction in our lives. The verse states "your rod and your staff, they comfort me." We should find comfort in the fact that our shepherd (God) protects us from evil with a rod. It may be more difficult to find comfort in the fact that God corrects us, but if you consider that the shepherd is much smarter than the sheep (and God knows more than you will ever know) and knows what dangers lie around the corner, then we should be able to take comfort in the fact that our Shepherd guides us with a staff.
