The Lord My ShepherdPsalm 23:1
No. 238The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.Psalm 23:1
Everything in Psalm 23 flows from this first verse. The Shepherd's job is to ensure the sheep lack nothing. Not that the sheep try hard and figure it out themselves — the Shepherd provides. Your role is to follow. His role is to ensure you have what you need.
Reflect
What do you feel like you're lacking right now? Name it. Bring it to the Shepherd.
Prayer
Lord, You are my Shepherd. I bring You my sense of lack and ask You to provide. I trust that under Your care, I lack nothing essential. Amen.
