Psalm 23:1-6 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.… I. THE GREAT NAME — Jehovah. In Egypt thousands of gods, but no Jehovah. II. A GREAT FAITH — "My Shepherd." III. A GREAT SUFFICIENCY — "I shall not want." The insatiable character of man. Life a hunger and thirst, intellectual, social, emotional. David's contentment arose from finding sufficiency was in God. The Lord was more to him than the manna, or the stream in the wilderness. He is sufficing beyond all thought, feeling, hope. To whom is He thus? To the weary, troubled, perplexed, and penitent. (G. S. Reaney.) Parallel Verses KJV: {A Psalm of David.} The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. |
