Psalms 23:1 says, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want” Through this simple illustration of God being our Shepherd, we see how God tenderly takes care to provide, guide, and protect us. King David was once a shepherd and he is the one who wrote that Psalm. In Israelite culture, to be a shepherd was lowly work given to the youngest family member. So it’s intriguing that David, who was also warrior and then a king, chose to look back at his time as a shepherd to paint a picture of how God cares for our needs.

A shepherd represents a more close and intimate relationship. Whereas a king might do what's best for the majority, a shepherd knows each one of his sheep. Today, you will learn that that is how God cares for you. He knows each of your comings and goings, He knows every hair on your head, He knows when you are lost and makes every provision to find you through His Son Jesus Christ. Embrace that today, and your life will never be the same again.
