He Is My Shepherd!

Ps 23:1

23:1 The LORD is my shepherd [Jehovah Ra-ah]; I shall not want.
NKJV

John 10:10-11

10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep."
NKJV

Rom 8:14

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
NKJV

My Comments:

In the Old Testament, God revealed Himself to David as Jehovah Ra-ah, or "God my shepherd" David knew what that meant as he went on to describe how God was his Shepherd, providing for his needs, leading him into safe pastures, being with him wherever he went.

In the New Testament, Jesus identified Himself as our Shepherd. That means that as our Shepherd, He leads us, He guides us! Psalm 23 describes what the Shepherd does for us, and how He provides for us, that we do not lack. Likewise in the journey of life, we need not fear that we're left on our own to decide what to do! Just call on the Name of Jesus and see Him guide you through His Spirit!
