Most of us have heard this Scripture throughout our lives, either in passing, on the television or from a family member. But to meditate on it brings about a certain level of confidence and assurance that everything that concerns us, concerns Him. While meditating on the word shepherd, these words come to life as pertaining to his job:
- tends (to our needs)
- feeds (us both spiritually and naturally)
- guards (us with a hand of protection)
- guides (us towards His predestined plan for our lives)
- leads (us on pathways of righteousness)
- keeps (us on course when distractions comes our way)
- instructs (us with wisdom)
- shields (us from danger seen and unseen)
There's only One who is qualified to do all of these things for us and that is El Shaddai, God Almighty! When we take inventory of our lives, we should see Him at work, taking His job very seriously. I believe David said it best in Psalm 37:25, "I was young and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread."
Is there evidence of The Shepherd in your life?
Your thoughts!
He is a Good Shepherd and I know, "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus." and He said "delight thyself also in the Lord;and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." He always keeps His word and I can say "Yes"... He has kept his word in my life and I have seen evidence in the lives of family, friends and different situations. Hallelujah... Thank you Jesus!!!
