Thought for Today: Thursday May 08

There is no Psalm better known and better loved than Psalm 23, which probably owes its origin (humanly speaking) to David’s childhood years as shepherd. But has it become so familiar to us that we forgot its riches? Look at the verses, they tell us first of all that YHVH is like a Shepherd to us – guiding us, keeping us safe, protecting us from our enemies and giving us everything we need to sustain our lives. But they also hint at our tendency to wonder and get into trouble, like the lost sheep in one of Yeshua’s parables. (Luke 15:17). So, no matter what lies ahead today, remember that the All-Knowing, All-Caring and All-Loving Shepherd is with you today.
