The Lord is My Shepherd
"The Lord is my
Shepherd — there is nothing I lack!" Psalm 23:1
God
in Christ is our Shepherd. The Lord Jesus is our Shepherd.
The above psalm says, "The
Lord is my Shepherd — there is nothing I lack." What a natural, what a
comfortable conclusion! With Jesus for our Shepherd — can we ever be left to
lack? Especially when it is said, "No good thing will he withhold, from
those who walk uprightly." Imagined good, I may lack; real good
— I shall never lack. Four
Firstly, I shall not lack protection,
for Jesus is an Almighty Shepherd.
Secondly, I shall not lack
direction, for Jesus is an all-wise Shepherd. It is the shepherd's job,
and a part of the shepherd's business — to lead the sheep. Wherever he leads I follow and whatever he feeds
I swallow.
Thirdly, I shall not lack supplies,
for the resources of Jesus are infinite. "The earth is the Lord's and the
fullness thereof." God says in His Word, “My God shall supply all your
needs according to his riches in Christ Jesus." He will supply according to His riches not
according to our riches or bank account riches.
God riches in heaven is more than we can imagine and never runs dry.
He supplies and supplies
and over supply to all our needs in this life until our cup overflows. God’s
grace for me is unstoppable and unlimited.
Fourthly, I shall not lack
healing and power as he anointed my
head with oil. God anointed me for ministry and leadership to my family, churches
and the world. God’s grace
within you is the anointing you need to accomplish everything He has planned
for you. Grace equals enablement – miraculous, supernatural, God-given,
enablement.
Fifthly, I shall not lack honor, glory and God’s presence as God
prepared a table for me to feast with Him. The King welcomes me into His
banqueting table where there is plenty of wealth, love and relationship with
Him. I am well honored greatly in His sight. Like Mephibosheth in the bible
during King David’s time, he was too lame to do his part first. He had to be
fetched.
If it had not been for
this fetching-grace, we should have all perished, in our strivings to hide away
from God.
Finally, I shall not lack anything as my cup overflows every time. Whatever I want in this divine life God has for
me. I will not lack wisdom, knowledge,
peace, joy, love and righteousness and grace and many other things I needed in
life. For God shall supply all my needs
according to “His Riches” in Heaven.
"Surely goodness and mercy
will follow me all the days of my life — and I will dwell in the house of the
Lord forever!" Psalm 23:6
