The Lord is My Shepherd Part 2

Psalm 23:1-4

 

Sheep are powerless to fend off predators so a good shepherd must be skilled in fighting so that he can protect his flock from harm.  The Bible teaches us that God is the shepherd of those who believe in Him, so they have the most powerful being in the universe as their protector, and the wisest being in the universe as their guide.  This does not mean that God will never lead His children into difficult circumstances or make their life easy and comfortable, but instead it means that when we go through circumstances as dark as death itself that He is right there beside us to protect us and guide us through them, and this should be a source of tremendous comfort and hope in the midst of trying times.
