Ps 23 - a Psalm of David
When you mention the phrase "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want," many folks instantly think of the soothing and comforting imagery found in Psalm 23, which is indeed penned by King David. But there's so much more to unpack here!
Did you know that King David had quite a colorful life? Before he even took a sip of royal tea, he was a shepherd himself! As a young boy, he tended his father's sheep in the fields of Bethlehem, which makes his comparison all the more meaningful. When he describes God as a shepherd, he’s speaking from personal experience. He understood the responsibilities that came with looking after those vulnerable creatures, and he used that insight to describe how God looks after us, providing guidance, care, and protection.
Now let’s talk trivia! Psalm 23 is not only one of the most quoted parts of the Bible; it’s also been a source of inspiration for countless artists, poets, and musicians throughout the ages. You might have encountered it in various forms of modern media, perhaps in song lyrics or artistic renderings that echo its rich themes of trust and safety.
This beautiful Psalm beckons us to feel the peace in divine companionship, showing us that, just as a good shepherd knows his flock intimately, a higher power knows and cares for each one of us individually. It's an everlasting reminder that we are never truly alone on our journey.
