The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23

It is, perhaps, one of the most well known and loved pieces of scripture/poetry ever.  It is recognized the world over by people of many faith traditions as a meaningful writing.  The 23^rd Psalm, the Shepherd’s Psalm, is a very special word of God. Over the next few weeks, let us contemplate this important writing.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  God is in control, and God will provide.  So often we get lost in the many perceived needs of our day, as well as the necessities of life and yet God will provide.  This is especially true when we think we do not have enough resources to do what God calls us to do – and yet the Good Shepherd will give us all we need to go out into the world with hope.

As you journey through this week, know that the Shepherd leads you, and will provide.

Peace,

Pastor Bill
