For You are with me;

Good Shepherd Sunday

I am the good shepherd, and I know mine and mine know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; I will lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that do not belong to this fold. These also I must lead, and they will hear my voice, and there will be one flock, one shepherd. John 10: 14-16

The Lord Is My Shepherd A Psalm of David.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. — Psalm 23 | English Standard Version (ESV) The Holy Bible, English Standard Version.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

Pause for a moment and think about that statement. I lack nothing. Let the truth of that statement fill your heart with peace and gratitude.

My shepherd provides everything I need. 💙

trusting the shepherd

Our current series at The Community Fellowship is “Get to Know the Shepherd”, and Sunday I shared a message from Psalm 23.  David shared his experience as a shepherd and how it led him to know and follow God.

Psalm 23:1  KJV

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

That is a personal word from personal experience.  Literally David that that God supplies his need through the relationship he has with God, the supreme shepherd.  What an awesome truth we need to hold to as well.

1 Peter 2:25  NLT  

Once you were like sheep who wandered away.  But now you have turned to your Shepherd, the Guardian of your souls.

That is why Jesus came.  He is our shepherd and makes a huge difference because He seeks us, He died for us and He guides us all the time.

Psalm 69:33  NLT  

For the Lord hears the cries of the needy; he does not despise his imprisoned people.

No matter our need, He knows and is ready to help.  Claim this truth.  He hears our prayers.  He knows our needs.  He is able to do even more.  But that is where we begin to really know and truth the true Shepherd.

Philippians 4:19  NLT  

And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.

The supply is 100% from God.  Trusting God does so many things for us.  That is where I will leave us today as the week begins… trust God, turn to God, let God guide you… then let the outcome come from God!

Acts 3:19  NIV  

Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, 

Psalm 36:8  NLT  

You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your river of delights.

Even though I Walk through a Valley Dark of Death, Soichi Watanabe, 2014.

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want;     He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters;     He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness     For His Name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,     I fear no evil; for Thou art with me;     Thy rod and Thy staff,     they comfort me.

Some links and quotes that caught my eye this week.

Shepherd leaders do know the voice of their sheep, and the sheep know the voice of their shepherd. Leaders, this is the value of regularly being around all the people on your team. Check out this full conversation Greg and I had on our leadership podcast. This idea is central to my book Shepherd Leadership. I have lots of new content every week, which you can check out on my YouTube…
