THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
Keywords 23:1
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in
want.
1.
He restores my soul (1-3)
David confessed that the Lord was
his shepherd. When David allowed God to lead him, he lacked nothing. The Lord
made David lie down in green pastures to feed and led him beside quiet waters
to drink when he needed rest. The Lord restored David’s soul and led David to do what
pleased God. The Lord did this for his own name’s sake. Jesus is our Good
Shepherd.
2. You are with me (4-6)
David addressed God as “you” in the dark valleys of life.
Though David faced evil and death, his faith became even more personal at those
times. God’s rod and staff were a comfort,
for they provided discipline, guidance, and protection. David would be honored
in the presence of his enemies. Hardship and trial deepened David’s assurance of God’s goodness and love for him. One
day, he would dwell with the Lord forever in heaven.
Prayer Lord, thank you for Jesus, my good
shepherd. Help me to follow you closely today.
One Word The
Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want
