"The Lord is my Shepard, I HAVE ALL THAT I NEED!"
What do you want out of life here on earth? Do you want wealth and fame? Is it your desire to lack nothing and have everything? Do you want perfect health and perpetual happiness? Is it your desire to avoid hard work and have others take care of your needs? Is your motto, what about me, what about my needs? The truth for today is one of the most important things that you can learn in your entire life. Your life here on earth is not all about you, it is all about the Lord God. Is Jesus Christ your Shepard?
The reason you are here and came into being is to serve and love the Lord Jesus Christ, and to worship Him! When you surrender your life to Jesus Christ and let Him become your Shepard, then and only then will you lack nothing. You will have all that you need! David affirms this in this 23rd Psalm. If the Lord is your Shepard and you are one of His sheep, you will lack nothing. The Lord will feed you, guide you, and He will shield you from harm. He will give you eternal life in perfection in Heaven. Your focus should be on the things eternal and not on this earthly, temporary life. Whatever your circumstances here on earth and no matter how bad things appear to be, the promise is still the same. If the Lord is your Shepard you can say, I HAVE ALL THAT I NEED!
When we let Jesus Christ lead us, He will let us lie down in fresh tender pastures and beside still peaceful waters. He will give us eternal rest. He will lead us in righteousness and He will restore our life and our soul. Even though we may suffer sickness, poverty or death on earth we do not need to have any fear, for He will protect us and comfort us and Save us. When you believe for sure the promises of God, then you can say with assurance, I HAVE ALL THAT I NEED!
