THE LORD IS OUR SHEPHERD

The Lordship of the Father is seen in the shepherding role he fulfils in our lives. Little wonder Psalm 23 introduces the Lord as our shepherd.

As natural sheep are expected to obey the voice of the shepherd if they are going to experience the blessedness of his role over their lives, so are we expected to obey the voice of the shepherd of our soul.

The voice of the Lord is not a suggestion; the voice of the Lord is the instruction we live by: for man shall live by every word that comes out of the mouth of the Father.

We are brought into provision, pleasure and protection when we follow the leading of the shepherd. He understands every pathway on earth: for he sees the end from the beginning. 

Do not demand that he explain the reasons for His instructions: for our lifetime on earth is not enough to sit at his feet and hear the reasons for his instructions before we obey.

He demands obedience, and prompt obedience at that if we are going to show that we are in submission to his will.

We suffer lack and loss when the Lord is not our shepherd. Our enemies have advantage over us when we refuse to submit to the Lord: for only in submission to the Lord can we resist the devil as our obedience needs to be fulfilled if we are going to judge all disobedience.

If the Lord is your shepherd, you must decide to remain his sheep.

God has blessed you.
