After we have read, “My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?” (Psalm 22), we come to “The Lord is my Shepherd” (Psalm 23). Jesus, our Good Shepherd, is also the sacrificed Lamb of God, who takes away our sin.
The Shepherd’s Provision (verses 1-3)
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2023:1-3&version=NIV
When we concern ourselves with our houses, cars, clothing, money, and stocks we cannot say, “The Lord is my shepherd.” In the chaos of our confused and sick society, our Good Shepherd invites us to put our confidence in Him. He restores hope, giving us direction. We follow his path to a cross. May we live at the foot of that cross.
Forgive us, Lord, for putting our trust in ourselves and what we have. Reestablish a relationship with us as our Shepherd. Thank You that as our shepherd we lack nothing. You make us lie down in green pastures, You lead us beside quiet waters and You refresh our souls. Thank You for guiding us along the right paths for Your name’s sake.
