The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want.
Unknowingly, I bought the same book with different editions. The Lord is my Sheperd by Adrian Rogers is such an amazing book that brings me to a better perspective of who my God is. This book is a study of one of the wonderful chapters in the Bible which is Psalm 23. David, a man who is after God's own heart, wrote this song of confidence and faith in God. His bold declaration renews anyone's faith and trust in God whenever they come across this chapter from the book of Psalm.
Adrian Rogers did an excellent job in analyzing Psalm 23 and presenting the one and only true Shepherd mentioned in this chapter from Psalm. He enumerated the different facets of God's characteristics as the Shepherd.
- The Shepherd We Need
- The Perfect Shepherd
- The Shepherd of Second Chance
- The Shepherd of the Dying
- The Shepherd of Plenty
- The Shepherd of Haven
All of these talked about how Jesus is the ultimate Shepherd that we all need. We are all lost sheep in this world of uncertainties and tragedy whether we accept it or not. The only true guide we need in living a blessed, happy, and content life in this temporal world is Jesus, of course also for eternity.
I had my doubts and denials before, and there are times that I still have them. But through my personal experience with Him, I have realized that He is the real deal, a loving Father who made me feel loved wanted and protected. That the faith I put in Him is never wasted, mine was never a blind faith.
1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
May we all experience here on earth the true joy and peace that only comes from Him!
