The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. Psalm 23:1
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me. Psalms 23:4a
Sheep are not stupid creatures, but they are so prone to fear that they react, making foolish choices. If I respond to life’s challenges with fear, I too will run when I should stand still; I will speak when I should hold my peace; I will ignore reality when I should be alert to danger; I will make hasty decisions when I should wait for the Shepherd’s timing. These fearful responses will only make me more anxious. Instead let me remember that the Lord is my Shepherd. I must choose to fear no evil. —M. MacMullen
Fear Him ye saints and you will then, have nothing else to fear.
Make you His service your delight; your wants shall be His care.—B & T.
