Good Morning Family,
“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.”- Psalm 23:1
The duty of the shepherd is to take care of and provide for the sheep. The shepherd took the duty seriously and understood that their responsibilities to the sheep was one that signaled ownership and possession. The shepherd knew the sheep and was aware of the capacity that each sheep possessed and the potential for the sheep to go astray…
We can look at many different concepts of the shepherd metaphor. For instance, a pastor who is a shepherd in many regards. The responsibilites are one in which a pastor looks out for the sheep, feeds the sheep, nutures the sheep, invests in the sheep and is responsible for the overall well being of the sheep. When the sheep hear the shepherd’s voice they know and understand what direction is to be followed…
Too often in the Body these days we do not have shepherd’s but hirelings. Those who do not want to make the investment in people but fleece the people to see what they can get for their own personal benefit. A title does not make one a shepherd. One can dress the part but actions display the true nature and intent of the shepherd…
David writes this Psalm from his experience as a shepherd and the meticulous care that he gave to the responsibility that was given to him. He incorporates this into a deep and insightful relationship with a Sovereign God who takes the responsibility of taking care of people to ensure their needs are provided. David shares with us how his relationship with God is personal. It is not a relationship that is 2nd hand. It is a first hand experience…
One of the reasons why we have too many people who wander from church to church and ministry to ministry is because shepherds need to be serious about our relationships with people. In the same token, all of us have to understand that we cannot wander to anywhere and eat from any field and drink from any stream…
Too much junk food and pollutant water will make anyone sick…
“I give myself away…so You can use me…I give myself away…”
