Psalm 23 has been coming into my mind every moment, every which direction I turn to, I see "23". So I know, the Lord wanna me to re-read the 23 Psalm again.
True enough, even when I started it off with verse 1 -
"The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want."
, I am already immensely engrossed into it and chewing on His words, His bread, His body. To be very frank, until now, I haven't get onto the second verse......
In this verse, it clearly states, that the Lord is my Shepherd! It is only the Lord Himself and not any teachers or preachers but the LORD himself. And what about the Lord? Well, He is my Shepherd, mine and not others!
A check on the word "Shepherd", and I love the number 2 explanation which says : a person who protects, guides, or watches over a person or group of people
Yes, The Lord Himself is the person who protects, guides, or watches over me! And one key word here "IS", present tense, meaning to say He is still my Shepherd even though I am 2000 years behind Him!
The next sentence is glory, for when I am under the Shepherd, "I shall not want."! If you lookup the "Amplified Version" of Psalm 23:1, you will understand the "want" described here is the word "lack".
Wow, when I come under His protections, His guidance, I will not fall short in respect of anything, no more lacks!
Hallelujah, what other joy is needed when you will never lack?
Amen, brethren, stay blessed with Jesus being our Shepherd that we, being His beloved lost sheep will enjoy with no lack!
