Good Morning Beloved,
Have been pondering this verse; " THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD ". Have you ever wondered what a shepherd does? Well, I have being a city girl and all. ( smile) Here goes.....
A shepherd is a WATCHMAN. Watching out for the enemies of the sheep. He is also a GUARD, protecting his flock ( at the cost of his own). He is a GUIDE, guiding his flock to a safe place. He is a PHYSICIAN, taking care of the sick, lame and ailing members of his flock. The shepherd is also a SAVIOR. He rescues those sheep who are lost and hurting. He is a PROVIDER, He feeds his sheep and waters them, without him they cannot even feed themselves. He is also a LOVER, yes a lover of his sheep. He loves them so much he knows each one by name.
We have a shepherd too. The Good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Jesus loves us!!! He watches over us, He guards us from our enemies, He guides us into ALL truth. He is our GREAT physician,( are you sick? hurting? In need of a physician?) and He provides our every need. He is our Savior . He went to the cross and gave His life up for us. So,
yes, Yes, YES!!!!! THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD.
REMEMBER: Smile. You are dressed in your best when you do!
