The Lord Is My Shepherd
Greetings, Precious Family. May the Peace of the Lord be with you always.
Family, you may not have heard the Hebrew name Jehovah Rohi, but you probably know this name of God very well in English: The Lord Is My Shepherd.
One of the first passages of scripture that many of us were taught, along with The Lord’s Prayer was the 23rd Psalm of David.
When I think visualize a shepherd taking care of a flock of sheep, I cannot help but think about the Lord.
Family, a shepherd has so many characteristics.
A shepherd is one who:
1. Cares for and watches over his flock.
2. Will fight any battle he needs to in order to keep his flock safe.
3. Will correct any sheep that wander away or become stubborn, because the shepherd knows the danger they cannot see.
4. At the same time, if that very same stubborn sheep gets lost, all the shepherd has to do is listen for its cry and the shepherd will leave to go and bring back the one that was lost. The shepherd does not forget the flock he is watching, but when one is missing, his heart goes after the one that is lost.
Doesn’t that sound just like God?
How amazing is it to be loved like that?!
Family, how has the Lord been Your Shepherd? Why not tell him Thank You this evening for all the ways he has been a Good Shepherd and a Good Father.
Jehovah Rohi – The Lord Is My Shepherd
Tonight, our scripture will also serve as our prayer.
Let Us Pray
Psalm 23
Tree of Life Version
Adonai-Ro-eh
Psalm 23
1 A psalm of David.
Adonai is my shepherd, I shall not want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
3 He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for His Name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil, for You are with me:
Your rod and Your staff comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You have anointed my head with oil, my cup overflows.
6 Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the House of Adonai forever. Amen, Amen, and Amen.
