2 Kings 11:1-12:21; Jeremiah 48:1-47; Hebrews 12:18-13:6
The Lord is my shepherd. Psalm 23:1
The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. John 10:11 NKJV
Psalm 23 is one of the most treasured portions of Scripture. In the first section, David highlights the fact that God cares for us each day (vv. 1-3). In the psalm’s final section, David notes that God will care for us in the days ahead through His promises (vv. 4-6). An individual cannot experience these blessings unless they have made the Lord their personal Shepherd and Saviour. This is done by believing what the Lord Jesus did for you in His sacrificial death on the cross (Rom. 5:8). Make Jesus the Shepherd of your soul today. —Bob Cretney
The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want; He makes me down to lie,
In pastures green; He leadeth me, the quiet waters by. —Francis Rous
