The Lord is our Shepherd


When the Lord is our shepherd - we SHALL NOT WANT - but we will FEAST!  

He spreads a feast before us - a feast of grace richer than we can ever fully imagine.  He makes His grace abound to us and we feast on His word.  

He makes His grace abound to us and we feast on fellowship.  He so richly provides for us that we have more than we need for ourselves and plenty left over to share the riches of His grace with others.  

When the Lord is our shepherd our heads are anointed with the oil of joy.  This causes sorrow and mourning to flee away.  

Our cup of blessing starts spilling over. When the Lord is our shepherd, we not only have great things set BEFORE us, we even have goodness and mercy following BEHIND us.  

WOW!  Talk about loving life and seeing GOOD DAYS - this is the life when the Lord is our shepherd.  How then do we become one of the Lord's sheep? 

 It's simple, Jesus said "My sheep hear My voice and they follow Me."  The Lord is the good shepherd to everyone who follows Him and He came to lead us to the feast set before us and the oil of joy upon our heads. The closer we are to the shepherd, the closer we are to the feast!
