The Lord is My Shepherd.....

The Lord is My Shepherd. I shall not want. Wow! What a mouthful but is it true to my heart? Sometimes I think that I am in dire straits and in such great need but in reality He is my shepherd and everything that I need is already there. When I wander away I start to feel the affects of the lack of relationship and feeling needy and worrying about things here on earth are symptoms of not spending time with the Great Shepherd. There is nothing in this earth that can give me eternal security anyway, so what's the fuss? Yes, I must be a good steward of what has been alotted to me but not at the expense of losing touch with the Great Shepherd.

My life and all its complicating circumstances are completely minimized as I draw closer to Him. Lord, you are there. I will never be alone. You promised me a comforter. He is the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, I love your protection and your loving guidance. Help me to keep my heart close to the great Shepherd. Help all who read this to draw closer to Him so that they can reap the benefits of real security.

I suppose that real sheep are pretty dumb sometimes and tend to wander. Lord, just poke me with your staff to keep me in line with your purposes and your calling on my life.
