“‘The Lord is my Shepherd’ is a sentiment carved on tombstones more often than a reality written in lives.”  (Dallas Willard, “The Divine Conspiracy”) 

The Lord is my shepherd; I have what I need.  Psalm 23:1 

He lets me lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside quiet waters.  Psalm 23:2

He renews my life; he leads me along the right paths for his name’s sake.  Psalm 23:3

Even when I go through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff—they comfort me.  Psalm 23:4

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.  Psalm 23:5

Only goodness and faithful love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord as long as I live.   Psalm 23:6  (Christian Standard Bible) 

The Lord is my shepherd.  Psalm 23:1

I have what I need.   Psalm 23:1 

Is the Lord my shepherd? 

Who or What am I trusting to manage my life?

Can they / it do that in a way so that I don’t need anything or fear anything?
