The Lord is my Shepherd

Nov 15

Psalm 23

Because the Lord Is My Shepherd (v. 1)
I Have Everything I Need (vv. 1–6)

Verse one gives the main point and verses two through six explain it more fully. Look why I have no need—because of all that my Shepherd supplies. Because the Lord is my Shepherd, I have everything I need.

The second point shows the glory of our Shepherd, because sheep are so profoundly needy. It call us to look in several directions to see his provision: (1) beneath me (green pastures), (2) beside me (still waters), (3) within me (restored soul), (4) ahead of me (right paths), (5) for me (presence, provision, protection), (6) behind me (goodness and mercy), and (7) forever before me (the house of the Lord).
