The Word
The Lord is my Shepherd,
I shall not want (NASB)
I lack nothing (NIV)
I don’t need a thing (MSG).
Talk it Out
The Old English word scēaphierde is comprised of two words, which, when translated, are: sheep and herdsman. Not only does our Lord care for us, he directs us, and because of his provision and guidance, we do not want.
A quick examination of three translations of Psalm 23:1 leads me to the coolest truth in this simple yet confident verse: he is why we shall not want, he is why we do not lack, he is why we don’t need a thing.
Walk it Out
How has God provided for you?
How has he been exactly what you need right now?
