The Lord Is My Shepherd Apr 23 2012
"The Lord is my Shepherd..." - Psalm 23
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want." Trust Christ as your good shepherd. He promises to meet your needs.
"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures," He gives us rest and spiritual nourishment.
"He leadeth me beside the still waters."
He calms our troubled souls.
"He restoreth my soul;"
He renews our spirit when we spend time with Him.
"He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake,"
His Word teaches us how to live right.
"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;"
He overcomes our fears, even of death.
"For thou art with me, thy rod and staff they comfort me."
He's always with us to discipline and encourage. This makes us feel secure.
"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies,"
He gives us strength with those who aren't for us.
"Thou anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over."
He gives us an abundance of blessings.
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,"
Daily, He reminds us of His love and forgiveness.
"And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
He provides us eternal, abundant life.
If you are discouraged with the world and the difficulties you face; if you feel like a sheep without a shepherd, Jesus wants to be your good Shepherd. Every day is better when you know "The Lord is my Shepherd."

Yes, report it NevermindHow I wish that the Bible God could be
Shepherd. Sad to say that after all these
years of trusting Jesus, He never fulfill a
single promise to help me.

Yes, report it NevermindNG, I am so sorry to hear a comment from a Follower such as yours. Are you sure God never answered your prayers or did he answer them, but not in the way you asked him to answer? He will answer prayers but sometimes he says "no" when we are trying to dictate to him the answer we want to hear. I am just courious as to what you have asked for and have not received.

Yes, report it NevermindGreat devotion! NG, I am also sorry to hear that you are a disappointed follower of Christ. Sometimes disappointment has to do with our expectations. We are not promised that life will be easy. We are promised the opposite. "In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world." There will be hardships, but God gives us the strength to get through them if we lean on him.

Yes, report it NevermindNG, I thought of you today when I read this Facebook post from Nancy Leigh DeMoss: "Most of us would never say it out loud, but have you ever doubted God’s love? If so, the best place to look is the cross of Christ. It’s the ultimate picture of love. Not just for the world. But for YOU." She followed up her own comment with this verse: “At just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly...God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:6, 8).
