Psalm 23 Study, Part 1

Psalm 23:1

"Jehovah my Shepherd""

The twenty-third Psalm is probably the most familiar and best loved of all Scripture passages. Its main theme illustrates one of the names for God. "Jehovah-Rohi" .

I. The Lord is my Shepherd...

II. I shall not want.

A little girl quoted Psalm 23 as "The Lord is my Shepherd, He is all I want."

This is a verse of God's goodness and grace. It presents an analogy of the shepherd and his total provision for his sheep. The ability is never in the sheep, but in the shepherd. We like sheep are helpless and are entirely dependent upon the Shepherd.
