Psalm 23:1-6
The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in
the green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my
soul; He leadeth me in the path of righteousness for His name sake.
This
is the second in a series of looking at God's protection. In yesterday's
discussion our focus was the good shepherd; today's focus is more personal by
focusing on the Lord as each person's personal shepherd as He cares and
provides for each person's needs regardless of the need. Each verse in this
psalm makes the point of the Lord being every person's shepherd. All humanity
can call God at the same time and never get a busy signal. What a mighty God!
If comfort is needed, the Lord provides, if shelter is needed, the Lord
provides if food is needed, the Lord provides even if we are traveling through
what the psalmist call dark valley days, the Lord is there with His Spirit
carrying us out of the valley where joy, peace and love abounds.
The Lord's goodness and mercy is with every believer forever. His
goodness and mercy is shown to non-believers as He wakes each person each day
of their lives. The sun shines on non-believers and believers alike so does the
air all humanity breathe.
When we say the Lord is means ever present in every situation. It also
says the Lord is with us every minute of the day for all the days of our lives.
