The Lord is My Shepherd
Psalms 23
King David was raised as a shepherd, and is the best person to write these timeless words of comfort and assurance.
Let’s just consider just one verse from this powerful Psalm of David
V 1:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
It is a powerful metaphor used many times in scripture. The relationship between shepherd and sheep. A shepherd, as it’s often described in scripture, has a very unique and powerful role-- But there is such a thing as a “sheep-herder” also. This would be a much different role. We often think of the shepherd as out in front of the sheep- leading them. A sheepherder simply cracks the whip or corrals the sheep, driving them from behind. And notice here that David does NOT state: The Lord is my sheepherder… No-- he says SHEPHERD.
Are you discouraged, critical, negative and short tempered? Are you dis-satisfied with life these days? I think we all have felt it. Since march of 2020, we’ve been facing a health pandemic caused by the COVID-19 virus. This pandemic has wrecked havoc with our lives. But another, more subtle and hidden virus is raging alongside the Coronavirus. Many are suffering through a pandemic of discontent. Frustration, anger, bitterness, anxiety and all host of other negative emotions are wrecking havoc within our families. The following is a rebroadcast of a sermon I was able to deliver recently, where I discuss Philippians 4, a letter the apostle Paul writes from prison. There are three distinct keys to learning to be content-- no matter our circumstances. We must find and concentrate on the positives, we must find a way to give sacrificially to others, and we must remember this secret-- that for those of us who are Christians, Christ lives in our hearts, and HE does give us the strength to do all things. I hope you are encouraged today, on the Encouragers United Podcast!
