Bible Ballistics: “BBs” #1
Our first “BB” is from Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” A very small and short verse but one packed full of power. Let’s simply ask the 5 ‘w’s’ and the ‘h’?
Who: the Lord & Me
What: is MY shepherd
When: when I am His child—John 1:12, “…power to become the sons of God”— “And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice”. John 10:4. The shepherd always watches over his sheep, therefore always he IS my shepherd!!
Where: “…he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him…..”, John 10:4 Everywhere Jesus is and that’s clearly—everywhere!!
Why: Because, “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. 15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.” John 10:14-15 –“for God so loved…”
How: “Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:” Romans 5:1 Jesus paid it ALL!!
So? Here’s our shot for the day–The Lord IS MY shepherd!! Is HE YOURS?
So? I/WE shall not want. Simple but not easy. Rest in Him today and know that if the Lord is YOUR shepherd, you need not want (lack or be short of anything essential….). Have a blessed day and keep looking up…
