IS YOUR "WANT" SATISFIED BY PSALM 23  

Psalm 23:1
    A Psalm of David.
    The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Many recite the first verse of Psalm 23, and in their minds are really thinking: 

"The Lord is my Shepherd, and I'm glad he is."

And yet their lives are filled with "want."

Those who come to know him as the Shepherd of their lives, after he has

saved their souls, do not "want," because as they follow him he always

satisfies them with his Holy Word, and as they keep on coming to him

for more and more of it, day by day, they taste more and more of how

GRACIOUS is really is, and he becomes more and more PRECIOUS 

 to them, to the extent that HIS person satisfies all their WANTS.

1 Peter 2:2-4 
As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby: [3] If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. [4] To whom coming, as unto a living stone,  disallowed indeed of men,  but chosen of

God, and PRECIOUS,


                     
The Lord is my Shepherd
            That's Relationship!

          I shall not want 
           
That's Supply!

                                          He maketh me to lie down in green 
pastures              That's Rest!

                          He leadeth me beside the still waters
             
That's Refreshment!

  He restoreth my soul
  
That's Healing!

                                           He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness
  
That's Guidance!

            For His name sake
                 
That's Purpose! 

 
                                                 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death  
  
That's Testing!

  I will fear no evil
  
That's Protection!

  For Thou art with me
  
That's Faithfulness!

                         Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me
  
That's Discipline! 
  

                                         Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies That's Hope!

  Thou annointest my head with oil
  
That's Consecration!

   My cup runneth over
   
That's Abundance! 

                  Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life  T
hat's Blessing!

              And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
  
That's Security!

  Forever
  
That's Eternity!
