"The Lord is my shepherd..."  Psalm 23:1

John in chapter 4 of his Gospel tells us:

"Jesus therefore said to them again, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the
door of the sheep.  [v. 7]
'I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he shall be saved, and shall
go in and out, and find pasture.  [v. 9]
'I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the
sheep.  [v.11] 
'I am the good shepherd; and I know My own, and My own know Me, [v.14]
'My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me; and I give
eternal life to them, and they shall never perish; and no one shall snatch
them out of My hand.  My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than
all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.  I and the
Father are one.'" [vs. 27-30]

Safe and secure!!  Let's just praise our wonderful Lord Jesus for His
lovingkindness and tender mercies.  Our confidence is in Him for He alone
is Lord.  For, 

"Behold, the Lord's eye is upon those who fear Him [who revere and worship
Him in awe], who wait for Him and hope in His mercy and lovingkindness." 
Psalm 33:18 Amp

Therefore, this day let's join our hearts and voices with the Psalmist,
David, in his song of praise as he says in Pslam 34:1-4,

"I will bless the Lord at all times;
 His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
 The humble shall hear it and rejoice.
 O magnifly the Lord with me, 
 And let us exalt His name togehter.
 I sought the Lord, and He answered me, 
 And delivered me from all my fears."   Amen.
