Without A Care In The World

Psalms 23:1 " The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want."

Sheep are said to be dumb, feeble, humble and vulnerable creature. But yet they still tend to live a life as though they don't have a care in the world. They go where they are lead, and trust that the shepherd will  not only protect them but also will supply their every need.

We too according to the word of God are also sheep. We are dumb feeble creatures who also need a shepherd. But unlike true sheep, we sometimes live a life which doubts our shepherd, even though He is said to be the good shepherd who laid down His life for the sheep. We live as though He is unable to do what a good shepherd does, care for the sheep. He tells us to cast all our cares upon Him, to lean on Him, to trust in Him, to believe in Him and to follow His lead, yet like sheep without a shepherd we wonder aimlessly through life falling off  cliff after cliff, to dumb to realize He is the way. Jesus is our shepherd and He will do just what He said, if we will just trust and believe.

Here David tells us that there is a reason He shall not want, Want for anything as he confesses the Lord as His shepherd. This is a personal thing, you first have to know the Lord personally, and accept Him as your personal shepherd. When you do this and believe this then you too can live like a true sheep without a care in the world..
