I shall not want, reflections on Psalm 23

by Sunny on December 27, 2007

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want…

But I do want. There are so many things that I want. I want a house and nice clothes. I want gourmet dinners and someone else to wash the dishes. What did David mean when he said, “I shall not want”?

God gives me everything of value. When I read Psalm 23, this is what it means to me:

When I follow God, He takes care of me. Let me tell you what He does.

He gives me rest and a quiet place. He teaches me how to live. In the very worst of circumstances, He is there, protecting, defending, and guiding me.

He provides for me while I live on this earth, and when I am dead He promises me blessings and a home for all eternity.

What more could I want?

Is the Lord your Shepherd?
