Title: Do You Know the Good Shepherd?

Text:

Psalm 23:1-4 (ESV)
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Observation:

I am so glad for the promise of this verse.

Psalm 23:1 (HCSB)
The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack.

If you can say, "The Lord is my shepherd", then you can rest in the blessed assurance, "There is nothing I lack".

The thing I appreciate about this Psalm is that it is a promise that applies to God's children all of the days of our life.

Psalm 23:6 (ESV)
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Does the good shepherd know you? Do you know Him? If you do, there is nothing you lack.

John 10:14 (ESV)
I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me,

John 10:27 (ESV)
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

Prayer:

Father God, I am so grateful that I have the good shepherd who cares for His dear children all the days of our life. O, the blessing of living in His presence and pasture. Lord, I thank You for being forever my shepherd; the giver and caretaker of my life. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

My Soul Sings:

My Shepherd my soul is restoring,
  My will, and emotion, and mind;
And though through the valley I'm walking,
  O what a Companion I find!
