Resting in the Shepherd’s Care
Memory Text
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” – Psalm 23:1 (NKJV)
The book of Psalm 23 is one of the most comforting and soothing passages in the Bible. It basically reminds you that God is your Shepherd, guiding, providing, and protecting you. The same way a shepherd cares for his sheep, God looks and watches over you with lots of love and attentiveness. It does not matter what you face, be it uncertainty, trials, or fear you can rest in His provision.
When David wrote this psalm, he not only knew the responsibility of a shepherd, but also, he understood it. Sheep unlike other domestic animals depend entirely on their shepherd for safety, food, and direction. You are therefore, called to trust God, knowing that He will meet your needs. Even in dark valleys, you are never alone His presence is your security and strength.
Are you sometimes feeling anxious, lost, or in need? Surrender your worries to the Good Shepherd who is our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Trust that He knows the way, and He will provide for you. Take time to reflect on various ways God has been faithful in your life and rest in His care today.
Prayer:
Father, thank You for being my Shepherd. Teach me to trust in Your provision and guidance. Remind me that I lack nothing in Your presence. Lead me beside still waters and restore my soul. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Always keep in mind, no matter what today holds, remember that your Shepherd is near, and His goodness love follows you. More on daily prayer and morning devotional today
