The Lord Is My Shepherd

How many times have you heard this Psalm?  Do you truly believe it?  Let's examine what it truly means.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads 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 You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs 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

You're probably so familiar with it that it's almost lost meaning, so let's re-examine it.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
Jesus will provide for all your needs.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
He brings you to the places where you need to go.

He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
He leads you Spiritually where you need to go.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
God becomes our Protector in times of trouble.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over.
God blesses His People even when people want to do wrong to them.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever."
God will always be with us as Believers.
