A psalm of David.
1 The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. 4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley,[a] I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows. 6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
Psalm 23 is a Psalm of David, a great psalm of Comfort that Reveals God’s Providential Care in the life of his people and may you see God’s providential care in your life to Preserve and Sustain you; to protect and comfort; to vindicate and promote; and to Reward you with eternal preservation to the end for glorification and Everlasting life. As a result of David’s treasure in the Lord he made a simple but profound resolve in his heart to declare this uncontested declaration and Resolve: "The Lord is my Shepherd I Shall not Want!"
There is no Greener pastures than what God Provided in His Son, if you think that Jesus is not the green pasture you are looking for; you will never find greener pastures except in the full sufficiency of the ultimate Green pasture of God's provision in His Only begotten Son! Try and find it in your own efforts, merits, good works and pleasures--the pasture that you seek in your own design will turn up thorns, thistles and weeds of dry rocky ground and your soul will always be in want, in this life and for all eternity in deep darkness of a Christless existence of eternal torment!
