Psalm 23:1-2
The Lord the Shepherd of His People
23 The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
2 He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
The sheep is always led by a shepherd. When the sheep are led to the green pastures and fed from the same pasture all of the sheep grow alike. Since they all get the same amount of nourishment. They all rest on the same pasture. The shepherd provides them with comfort. There’s no greater or lesser among them. The Psalm 23 is a Psalm of King David. David at one point in his life was a shepherd boy. He knew how to take care of the sheep. Metaphorically the Lord is our shepherd. If the Lord is our shepherd then we are His sheep. As a born again Christian believer we have to wait on the Lord for all our needs. We not only have to wait upon Him but also wait to be led by Him. Since the Lord lead’s everyone of us to the green pasture, we get to feed on the same bread Jesus Christ that came from heaven. And we all get the same kind of rest and comfort from God. Let us seek God the Father today through His Son Lord Jesus Christ who is our Chief Shepherd. In Jesus name! Amen.
Maranatha!
