The Lord Is My Shepherd Psalm 23 Today's discussion takes a reflective look at the Lord being our shepherd because when we look around and reflect on the goodness of God we see His love, grace and mercy that springs new each morning as fresh dew from heaven. The verb "is' means the presence of God not that He was or will be, but He is with us constantly and remains so through His Spirit until we get to heaven where we will meet Him in person. The Lord as our shepherd provides for our every need and protects us from all hurt harm or danger. The analogy of sheep and shepherd is what this psalm is about because humanity is His sheep and the world is His pasture. It conveys complete trust in God for all our needs. Lastly, each verse in the 23rd Psalm depicts the Lord as our shepherd and that His goodness lasts for ever. What a mighty good God!
