This Psalm began with , “The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want” I ask you first, “Is He your shepherd? If He is , then you will NOT want of anything, for a good shepherd looks out for His sheep. If He is NOT your shepherd, then you are lacking many good things.
In these days of stress and disappointments, we need a good shepherd to guide us , lead us, supply what we are needing and to show us care and love. Do you know Him like that, if not your are missing out. This Shepherd loves His sheep (we are if you follow Him) This Shepherd tells us and shows us the right way, and will protect us from all the wolves, and people who are trying to do us in.
WHAT ELSE DOES A GOOD SHEPHERD DO?
He takes the sheep to green pastures where the fresh and good grass is. He makes sure the sheep have water to drink, and shelter from the sun and heat and storms. This Shepherd is not an hired Hand, but a caring, self-sacrificing Shepherd. He is there all the time taking care of things that will help support and sustain the sheep. Do you know such a shepherd, do you have Him in your life to support and sustain you through all the storms you are facing or will face? Reach out to Him, and seek His divine help for you are not strong, wise or know the way without His help. Jeremiah 16:19 says, “In times of distress, He will be your refuge strength, fortress and guide”.
Because of these things about this Good Shepherd, should’nt you ask Him to wash you from your sins, and save you for all eternity? He wants to be your Shepherd today, so He can walk with you each day now right into the next life. ( John 3: 16-18) Today is the day of salvation, NOT your money, education, job, families nothing can compare with this new life with the Good Shepherd. He knows every pit you can fall in, He knows every obstacle that is set up to fail you, then one would be foolish NOT to ask Him for the help you need to navigate this life.
Verse 6 says, after you begin your walk with Him, he will keep you safe and will one day take you home to be with Him forever. How cool is that? Its a promise no other shepherd can do . Come to the Good Shepherd and give Him all your aspiration and future for you will be safe with Him all year, everyday, and every day of your life.
