Feb 21 – Psalm 23:1 – The Lord is my Shepherd
We are going to spend the next few days in Psalm 23. I love this portion because I pastor a church and am a shepherd. So I am a shepherd looking at this psalm from that perspective. David begins with a great statement, “The Lord is my shepherd.” The Lord cares for us, loves us and protects us as a shepherd does. Jesus said that He is the good shepherd and He gave His life for the sheep. Shepherding was David’s first profession. It is where He came from so he knows the details of this lifestyle well.
David knows that good shepherd will make sure that his sheep will lack for nothing. They will be able to grow thrive and multiply. They will be protected from marauders, animals and enemies. The shepherd will protect them so well that he will even lay down his life for them. Jesus did this for us on the cross. Today allow the Lord to be your shepherd and you will lack no good thing.
