I Lack Nothing

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.”  (Psalm 23:1)

I am ashamed for acting and speaking at times as if I DO lack something; as if the shepherd is not enough and he has led me into a mess.

But he doesn’t lead me into messes.  Either I find a mess in my wandering, or I create a mess trying to do things on my own, or I see a mess because I forget my shepherd is the one leading me and is at work.

But THE LORD is my shepherd.  I lack NOTHING.

And when I think I am lacking something….it’s usually Him.
