The Lord is my Shepherd.

"THE Lord is my Shepherd [to feed, guide, and shield me], I shall not lack" (Psalm 23:1 AMP). The Lord is our Savior. With Him being first in our lives, we will not lack or want. He has saved many out of the bondage of Hell, from near death experiences, and from sicknesses and diseases. King David, along with many men and women of God, had some tremendous trials in their lives that were no different than ours. The enemy doesn't like it when a man or a woman stands up for righteousness, and he sure doesn't like it when we bind together in unity and give God praise. King David knew the place he had to be in order to get a hold of our Lord. Through the struggles and the failures, King David found himself face down on his knees before the very presence of God. "Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place" (Psalm 23:6). King David is a great example of humility and of one who gets back up in spite of the guilt, shame, and sin. Times will always seem hard, and it's only going to get harder. Through it all, God is still there guiding, speaking, and leading those who trust in Him, and He will not fail us nor desert us even in the greatest of trials. Let God be the Savior and Shepherd of your life. Trust Him and love Him more and He will comfort you. God bless you. Amen.
