The Lord is my Shepard, I shall not want. Psalm 23:1
The Lord is indeed the Shepard to those that believe on and want him to be. But it also says there that because of it, we will not want.
Well, there are times we want. Whether it is for need, as in clothing, food, or a place to live. Sometimes it is for something we don't need, just desire to have. Like a brand new car, when our old one is perfectly good. Or a bigger or fancier home. Maybe it is the items in our homes that we want as in the big entertainment centers that are so popular today, fancy clothes or something else.
God does promise us that he will give us the desires of our heart, but I don't think that in this passage he meant that there are times we want something that he will always supply them. I believe he will supply what we need, when we need it.
Just as a shepard watches over his sheep, makes sure they have food and shelter when they need it, and protection from the dangers that may await them, Jesus does the same for us.
That is who he is. Our Shepard. He watches over and takes care of us. His sheep.
Thanks for coming by today, Friends. Have a blessed day!
