Psalms 23:1-6
God is represented as the Shepherd, the Guide, and the Host of His people. The flock does not keep the shepherd, but the shepherd keeps the flock. Look away from yourself and trust Him with all, in all, and for all.
Let God see to your wants. You need
nothing outside of Him. His pastures are “tender grass;” His waters, “waters
of rest.” The word of God is the living water.
Jesus
is our Good Shepherd.
Jesus
said in John 10:11 I am the good shepherd and the good shepherd lays down his
life for the sheep. Also said, I know my own and my own know me. (John 10:14)
John
10:3 The sheep hears his voice, and he calls his own
sheep by name and leads them out.
What
encouraging words for those who have a personal relationship with the Lord
Jesus. He is the one who give us a hunger for his word, he is the one who lead
us in his word, we know him personally and he knows us, he calls us by his
name. Beloved this is very personal.
