Psalm 23:1

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1, ESV)
ree

1. “The Lord is my shepherd”

  • Reflection: This opening phrase reminds us of God’s personal care. He isn’t distant—He’s guiding, protecting, and providing like a shepherd with his sheep.

  • Song Match: “Shepherd” by Bethel Music – This song beautifully captures the intimacy of God’s guidance and His nearness in every season.


2. “I shall not want”

  • Reflection: Because He is our Shepherd, we lack nothing essential. This isn’t about having everything we desire, but about resting in the sufficiency of His provision.

  • Song Match: “Jireh” by Elevation Worship & Maverick City Music – The chorus declares, “You are enough,” echoing the truth that God’s provision satisfies every need.


3. The Whole Verse Together

  • Reflection: When we put it all together, Psalm 23:1 becomes a declaration of trust. It’s a reminder that our security doesn’t come from circumstances, but from the Shepherd Himself.


  • Song Match: “Goodness of God” by CeCe Winans – This anthem ties the verse together, celebrating God’s faithful care and abundant goodness.

Psalm 23:1 is more than a verse—it’s a lifestyle of trust. When we feel anxious, we can hum “Jireh.” When we need reassurance of His nearness, we can sing “Shepherd.” And when we want to celebrate His faithfulness, we can lift up “Goodness of God.”
