IN* *GOD OUR SHEPHERD* I must remember that
while positionally God sees me perfect in Christ, practically He sees me
as a sheep, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, sometimes obedient and
sometimes vacillating. I see that in the sheep's psalm, Psalm 23.
While God the Shepherd is portrayed as competent and capable in the
psalm, the sheep is not. Often the sheep is obedient and follows
closely by the Shepherds's side and so enjoys green pastures and quite
waters. But sometimes I am a disobedient sheep and so must be "driven"
in the right paths. I sometimes need the rod and the staff and their
discipline, which is painful at the moment, but it ultimately brings
its "comfort" (v. 4). Sometimes I am fearful, especially at the approach
of any cavern, cleft, or valley. While every valley has its fears, the
valley of death has the greatest fear of all, and so I need the extra
assurance of my Shepherd's presence, which enables me to "fear no harm"
(v. 4, margin). Sometimes I am surrounded by my enemies, but
even then God arranges things so that in their sight I am provided a
table, a provision, and an oversight by my thoughtful, concerned
Shepherd. He wants to show my enemies that I made no mistake in putting
my trust entirely in Him. There also are times when m,y cup
simply overflows. Those are times when I cry out with wonder, "Why me,
Lord? Why me?" When I receive those overwhelming times of joy, it is not
because I am good, but because my Shepherd is and He simply desires to
share His goodness with me. In fact, He pursues me with "goodness and
mercy" (v. 6, KJV) until He brings me safely into His eternal home.
What shall I say of a God who understands me so fully and provides for
me so completely? "Great is the Lord, and greatly [deserves] to be
praised" (Psalm 96:4).*AMEN* "Thou art a gracious and compassionate
God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, and one who relents
concerning calamities" (Jonah 4:2).*AMEN*
