Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 31, Day 1: Sunday, 30th July 2023. TOPIC : Psalms 23: My Shepherd 1

“1. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Our focus this week is Psalms 23. The Lord will be unfolding the mystery behind this chapter of the bible to us, written by King David, a man after God’s heart.

“The Lord is My Shepherd.”  

David didn’t start life as a King, he started as a shepherd boy, in order words, he was explaining his experience as a shepherd before becoming a King. A shepherd is a leader of sheep, flock. He goes ahead of them, He knows the way better than the sheep. He loves and cares for the sheep he’s leading. From this perspectives, this is what a man will do for an animal, how much more will God do for human?

“I shall not want”

The implication of God being one’s shepherd is that lack and want are ending. The shepherd will take the sheep to where they will be satisfy even at the detriment of his life. Jesus Christ, the great shepherd, is our leader, director, instructor and guardian. With Him, we will lack no good thing if we allow Him to lead us, because when He leads, He takes us to where our needs are. It’s a different thing to have Jesus as your shepherd and a different thing to follow your shepherd. Those who recognise His voice and follow Him are those who will never be in want.

Good Day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
