“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Psalm 23:1
Matthew Henry wrote in regards 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.”
How often are you able to comfort and console another Christian brother or sister; and you are more than able to believe for them so that their faith would increase during a season of testing and trials and yet you yourself struggle to take hold of our verse today when you encounter a similar season.
Dear Christian friend you will not lack anything. Your position in Christ Jesus brings many benefits that are made possible by Christ and Christ alone. We do not name it and claim it. We read it and receive it! When we are hungry, our physical bodies need protein and carbohydrates to function. Most of us have a refrigerator and cabinets where we store our food. We enter these by opening the doors and choosing what it is we are hungry for. Spiritually speaking, we have a double door cabinet that is filled with all that one needs to satisfy our spiritual hunger, THE BIBLE.
The Bible says, “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). The main reason we lack faith is that we don’t trust God’s Word. Think how victoriously we would live day to day if with a simple childlike faith our words would echo David’s, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
