The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.’ – Psalm 23:1
Psalm 23 begins with a profound declaration: ‘The Lord is my shepherd.’ This simple yet powerful statement sets the tone for understanding God’s role in our lives. As our shepherd, God is both mighty and caring. He knows us intimately and provides for our every need. When we acknowledge Him as our shepherd, we can rest assured that we will lack nothing. He leads us to places of rest and refreshment, ensuring our souls are restored. Reflect on the ways God has shepherded you in your life. How has He provided for you, guided you, and protected you?
Reflection
In what areas of your life do you need to trust God more as your shepherd?
Prayer
Lord, thank You for being my shepherd. Help me to trust in Your provision and guidance. Lead me to places of rest and refreshment, and restore my soul. Amen.
