Psalm 23:1
Today, many of us may not understand the life of a shepherd, but we find great comfort in the simplicity of Psalm 23. David wrote this Psalm and he understood the importance of a shepherd to sheep. As you read the first verse you can see David reflecting on his sheep herding experience. He credits God as his shepherd who provides all that he needs. David never lacks anything because God knows exactly what he needs, just as he knew exactly what the sheep under his care needed. God in His faithfulness and care provides what is needed to the people under His care. David pictures himself as a sheep looking to God as his shepherd for his needs to be met and listening to God for directions in life. This Psalm is more than just a few words on a page. This is a song of praise to God that expresses a deep confident reliance on God as the shepherd who cares for His sheep. This is also a Psalm that was to be learned by others and sung in praise to God. Are you finding all your needs being met in the LORD as your shepherd? Are you confidently communicating praise of the LORD, your shepherd, to others?
