Twenty-third Psalm Explained
We probably haven't thought about it nor looked at this Psalm in this
way, even though we may say or pray it often.
The Lord is my Shepherd
----- that's Relationship!
I shall not want
----- that's Supply!

I look at verse one, "I shall not want" as a command and not a promise.
Stop and think about it for a moment. Do you know any Christian, any ministry, any person who does not have a "want."
I am a big time "God supplies my needs" person but as I have found there are always needs. As the scriptures tell us, "the just shall live by faith."
The area that I think so many miss it is in being content with what you have, which is far different than be complacent.
Anyway, The Lord is my Shepherd and because He is my Shepherd and is leading my life then I need to not want anything outside of what He is leading me into.
My thoughts!
