Topic: *The Lord is My Shepherd.”

Anchor Scripture: The LORD is My Shepherd. Psalm 23:1 KJV.

What a beautiful and uplifting message we have today! Psalm 23 is such a beloved song by David, a heartfelt prayer that reminds us of the incredible guidance and love our Heavenly Father provides. David expresses immense gratitude for God’s direction and daily provisions, recognizing that he is one of His cherished sheep, never just left in a manger but embraced in lush pastures!

Let’s celebrate the amazing roles of the Shepherd in our lives:

- *He leads us to abundant, green pastures.** What joy it is to bask in the blessings He provides!

- *He protects us from dangers. We can trust that He is always watching over us, ensuring our safety.

- *He gives us freedom. We have the glorious choice to explore the beautiful fields of life He offers!

Now, consider the contrast with a manger— a confined space where animals lack the freedom to roam:

- *Limited freedom and choices.* They eat what they’re given, without the joy of lush exploration.

- *Rationed provisions.*No abundance or overflowing blessings here!

This beautiful comparison truly expresses David's deep appreciation for being a part of God’s flock, just as we are! The question now is—are we ready and willing to follow God’s joyful lead today?

And how can we draw closer to Him on our spiritual journey? By diving into His Word and joyfully obeying His instructions!

Our Assignment today: Embrace this joyful message and actively apply it to your life, leaning on Him with all your heart. Let’s bask in His goodness and trust Him completely.
