Subject: BREAD OF CHRIST The Lord is My Shepherd














PSALMS 23
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still
waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his
name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no
evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou
anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will
dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

It is a comfort to know that the Lord is our Shepherd. How many times have
you said this or heard this Psalm? Is it in your being? Once when i was in
Bible college I went to chapel and this guest speaker was there. He begin to
talk about what he was gonna speak on that night. I said to myself O great I
have heard that before. Wasn't really paying any attention and the LORD
rebuked me and said: If you heard it are you walking in it. I sat up in my
chair and was all ears the rest of the night to see what the LORD wanted to
work in my life.

I read this and thought i would share with you.

"The Lord is my shepherd..." A famous actor was once the guest of honor at a
social gathering where he received many requests to recite favorite excerpts
from various literary works. An old preacher who happened to be there asked
the actor to recite the twenty-third Psalm. The actor agreed on the condition
that the preacher would also recite it. The actor's recitation was
beautifully intoned with great dramatic emphasis for which he received
lengthy applause. The preacher's voice was rough and broken from many years
of preaching, and his diction was anything but polished. But when he finished
there was not a dry eye in the room. When someone asked the actor what made
the difference, he replied, "I know the psalm, but he knows the Shepherd.

********************
Know the shepherd. Know that he is nearby. Know that he loves you. Know that
he will come when you call to him in prayer, when you are frightened, or
anxious, or in pain. Then you will be able to know, with the psalmist, "The
Lord is MY shepherd...Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days
of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long."



O Father, we have loved the words of the 23rd Psalm from our earliest days of
faith. Help us to make them part of our lives as our confidence and trust in
you continues to grow and mature. We ask all these thing in your Wonderful
and Holy Name Jesus
Amen†
