The Lord is my shepherd

Psalms 23:1

“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall lack nothing.”

Before he became king, David took care of sheep. He led the sheep to eat green grass and drink fresh water. He protected them from wolves and lions, and he looked for the one that got lost. One day David thought: God takes care of me just like I take care of my sheep! So he wrote a song: the Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He leads me to quiet places and is with me even when I'm afraid.

💡 What we learn
