The Lord Is My Shepherd

 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 - Psalm 23:1, 2.

                The Lord is our Shepherd. He feeds us and makes us to lie down in green pastures. He will feed His flock like a shepherd; He will gather the lambs with His arm, And carry them in His bosom, And gently lead those who are with young - Isaiah 40:11. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and in all the inhabited places of the country. I will feed them in good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel - Ezekiel 34:13,14.

                The Lord is our shepherd and we are His sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep - John 10:14,15. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep - John 10:11. For He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand - Psalm 95:7.

                 Let us thank the Lord God our shepherd  who feeds us every day and follow Him. My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. And I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand - John 10:27,28. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord ha       s laid on Him the iniquity of us all - Isaiah 53:6.

                                                                 

PRAYER: Dear Lord, You are our Shepherd who feeds us and leads us. Let us hear Your voice and follow Your ways. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
