An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word

SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYThe LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. (Psalm 23:1)
David, a shepherd from his youth, reveals the character and care of his Lord by comparing Him to a shepherd. He thought of God as one who loves him dearly and would do anything to protect and provide for him. What does Psalm 23:1 say to us? “The Lord” tells me that my shepherd is the Creator. “Is” tells me that He is presently at this moment watching over me. “Shepherd” tells me that God is my all sufficient provider. The words, “my” and “I” mean that I can personally claim Him and He is affecting my life. “Shall” means that I can be 100% sure. And “not want” reveals that this Gentle Shepherd will supply ALL my needs. Is He your shepherd? ~~
