The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want, Psalm 23:1 This is the time of year when a lot of us can feel triggered when we scroll through Instagram. Impeccably decorated homes, seemingly perfect family gatherings, and opulent holiday trips can cause us to look around at our messy…
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Psalm 23:1, Holy Bible, King James Version)
David wrote a beautiful psalm, a song about sheep that need nothing because the shepherd cares for them completely. This well-known verse is a favorite of many because it speaks of the complete care provided by the shepherd.
Sheep are never puzzled about what tomorrow may bring when they are in the shepherd’s presence. They don’t worry about water, food, or shelter. They are not perplexed about storms of life. They have no concerns about safety from enemies. They trust completely in the shepherd who provides everything for them.
Prayer: Lord, teach me to trust in You completely like a sheep that follows without questioning what tomorrow may bring. Amen
