The Lord is My Shepherd


The writer of Psalm 23rd, was a shepherd. In his very young years, he cared for his family's sheep. Being that he knew how much work it took to keep the sheep safe from harm, properly fed and cared for, he was able to apply that same analogy to how God took care of him.

 We too, can relate to what he means in the analogy he gave. In the part where he noted how God prepared a table before him in the presence of  his enemies, is amazingly impressive how God works  in  favor of those who trust him, as their shepherd.

God allows those who are waiting to see their prediction of failure come about upon those who trust him, to see instead, his people with great success and prosperity, in good health and happiness! During the times of hardship and trials of tribulations, our enemies look and anticipate us to fail, and give up. But, when God comes to our defense, and bring us through those though times undefeated, in the face of our enemies, we declare VICTORY! Because the battle has been won.
Our God is amazingly wonderful!
