“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Psalm 23:1
Matthew Henry wrote in regard to believers and The Great Shepherd, “He takes them into His fold, and then takes care of them, protects them, and provides for them, with more care and constancy than a shepherd can that makes it his business to keep the flock.” What wonderful words from so long ago that ring true at this very moment. Our fear will slay our faith in a moment when we choose to disregard God’s Holy Word. Our fear is the manifestation of our flesh ruling the roost. Our fear is also a direct response to the devil and his lies that he whispers so cunningly in the time of a great hurt or battle that is raging in our lives. Ephesians 6:16 recently jumped off the page of my bible, “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.” It was a timely word that I needed desperately! I praise God for it. Listen, dear believer, we are well equipped if we will suit up and apply that which our Lord has provided.
At our home church we have been dealing with many different situations and scenarios. The death of loved ones- Cancer- illness and sickness- as well as folks being hurt in accidents and many have lost loved ones that they are burdened and broken hearted over. Even in such times we can say without stutter or stammer, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."
Take a moment to read Psalm twenty-three! It can be a great comfort at this very moment.
