I will miss anything !

Psalms 23.1 – The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

King David is a very endearing character. In this Psalm 23 that we are going to meditate on, there is a very strong poetic richness and an extraordinary demonstration of confidence, let's not forget that we are long before the birth of Jesus. David already demonstrates a great knowledge of his God and this knowledge can only be received in intimacy with Him.

Is the Lord leading me ? The promise that follows : I shall lack nothing is directly conditioned by the answer to this question : "Who directs my life ?". Here we go far beyond the notion of simply believing in God ; the Shepherd becomes the Master, the Guide, the One to whom the sheep joyfully submits, a complete surrender, as another Psalm says : "Commit your life to the Lord, rely on Him, and He will do what is necessary" (Psalms 37.5). At the wheel of the car of your life, there cannot be two drivers, it is you or it is the Lord. He is not going to snatch the steering wheel from your hands, He is waiting for you to decide to give it to Him freely. When you have made this choice, He is faithful to his promise and you lack nothing, that is to say, you have what you need, not the futile but the necessary, materially but also emotionally.

The feeling of lack causes anxiety, insecurity and dissatisfaction. Many people have made bad choices, with serious consequences, because they were tormented by lack. Accept that the Lord becomes the Shepherd of your life and He will fill the void of lack with his grace, his love and his presence.

Have a good day.
