Psalm 23 was perhaps written when David was a King.
Psalm 23.1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
As David thought about God he sees God as his Shepherd.
David was well acquainted with shepherding and sheep for as a boy he cared for his father's flock. David was not the only one to think of the Lord as a shepherd.
Moses considered the Lord as shepherd as well (Genesis 49.24).
Have you ever thought how we are like sheep? In the Middle East Sheep were completely dependent on their Shepherd and sheep in Australia are still dependent on their farmers.
Ps 23.1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
David knew God as His Personal Shepherd:
Sheep in the Middle East were dependent on the Shepherds to lead them to food and water for their survival.
Not only does the Shepherd give REFRESHMENT to his sheep but the Shepherd gives his sheep REST.
When the World is in Turmoil God's people can still have rest in Him.
David knew God as His Personal Shepherd:
David knew God as His Personal Provider: He gives refreshment and rest to His people.
