The Lord is my shepherd; [Psalm 23.1a]
I started to cut and paste the entire 23rd Psalm here today, but instead decided to focus on the first phrase of the chapter.
The Lord is my shepherd. Yahweh is my shepherd.
If He is my shepherd, then I am His sheep.
If I am His sheep, then my well-being is not mine to determine, but His.
If my well-being is His to determine, then I have purpose - to be his wool and His meat.
If I have purpose, then He will preserve me for that purpose.
Father, help me to comprehend today that You are my shepherd. Help me to really get it.
