What's the difference

Good morning. I heard part of a sermon on the radio this morning and wanted to share it with you. "A group of socialites were gathered to celebrate a well known actor's film success. The group urged the actor to recite something for them, hoping to get a personal performance. Amongst the crowd was an older Pastor friend, whom the actor looked at and shrugged his shoulders. The Pastor said, 'Why don't you recite the 23rd Psalm.' The actor replied, 'I will only if you recite it after I am finished.' The Pastor agreed. The actor stood and with great diction and perfect wording recited the 23rd Psalm. The group sat in awe of his presentation. Next the Pastor stood, a little bent with age and seasoned in preaching the Gospel.When he finished reciting, there was not a dry eye in the house. A member of the group asked the actor, 'It was the same Psalm, what made his so different?' The actor replied, 'I only know the words, the Pastor knows the Shepard.' " What a difference it makes when we walk in God's word.
