The Lord is my shepherd

Psalm 23:1-3

1- The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2- He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters,
3- he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.


詩 篇 23:1-3

1- 耶 和 華 是 我 的 牧 者 ． 我 必 不 至 缺 乏 。
2- 他 使 我 躺 臥 在 青 草 地 上 、 領 我 在 可 安 歇 的 水 邊 。
3- 他 使 我 的 靈 魂 甦 醒 、 為 自 己 的 名 引 導 我 走 義 路 。


I have read this chapter of Psalm quite a few times and have tried to reflect on the meaning of it, and David has really written this to indicate his great faith and confidence in the Lord. In today's world, especially if we are busy, we forget sometimes that the Lord is our shepherd, and we are the sheep. We often think the other way around.

Lord's path is righteous but definitely not an easy path. In last night's fellowship, one suggested that us Christians should not expect an easy life, instead, a much harder one. However, let's not forget that the Lord is good and loving and He has already done the best thing for us - that is, to save us from sin and guiding us to the right path of righteousness and eternal life.
