Psalms 23:1
¶ The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

This beautiful psalm begins by David bringing before us the wonderful fact that the Lord is his shepherd and because of this truth He knows all his needs will be met. As the good shepherd Jesus died for the sheep and promises His own that they will never perish.

John 10:11
I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
John 10:28
And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Presently as the great shepherd of the sheep He cares for us continuously.

Hebrews 13:20
Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,
21 Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Jesus is our Shepherd,
Wiping ev'ry tear,
Folded in His bosom,
What have we to fear?
Only let us follow
Whither He doth lead,
To the thirsty desert,
Or the dewy mead

Remember to focus on the Lord Jesus.

Matthew 9:36
But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.

Remember to take time in the Word

John 17:17
Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.

Psalm 23

1 <<A Psalm of David.>> 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.

Remember to pray

Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
