The Lord is my Shepherd, I lack no good thing. In the morning, in the evening, in the middle of the night, and in the middle of the day, he is with me, even when I don’t feel his presence.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, even when I don’t want to stop and rest. He knows what’s best when I think I know better. He invites me to embrace my limits and be sheltered by his tender care. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness, toward the way of the eternal kingdom—all for his name's sake. Everything my Shepherd does is according to his name. He never contradicts himself, and he is always good. As I walk these paths, shadows come that threaten my peace and my joy. They are terrifying in the moment, but a shadow can’t hurt me when I’m covered by God’s grace.
So I won’t fear evil because my Shepherd is with me. He comforts, corrects, and restores me with his rod and his staff. The truest feast is found in his presence. His Word nourishes my soul.
Surely his goodness and his mercy will accompany me on this journey, every day, every moment. One day I will dwell with him in the new heaven and new earth forever, where there are no more dark shadows, no more pain, no more fear.
Until then, I’ll walk with my Shepherd, be led by my Shepherd, and call out to my Shepherd who became like me, a sheep, and is the Lamb who was slain for my redemption. There’s no greater love than my Shepherd’s love and no greater sacrifice than his.
Yes, the Lord is my Shepherd. I lack no good thing, because I have everything I need in him.
