“The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want (lack).”  Psalm 23:1
 
Concerning sheep, the “Illustrated Dictionary of the Bible, Herbert Lockyer, Sr., Editor” says and I quote:
“Sheep are curious but dumb animals, often unable to find their way home even if the sheepfold is within sight.  Knowing this fault, the shepherd never takes his eyes off his wandering sheep. (Psalm 32:8, ‘I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eyes.’)…The sheep are content merely to be in the same field with their shepherd.” End quote.
 
Psalm 23 goes on to tell us the things we do not lack!
Vs. 2 “He makes me lie down in green pastures;
           He leads me by still waters.”
Therefore, I do not lack peace or provisions.
 
Vs. 3 “He restores my soul;”
So I have encouragement and hope.
          “He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name sake.”
Therefore, I have guidance,  I do not lack it.
 
Vs. 4 “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
            I will fear no evil for You are with me;
In these hard times my trust is in You to deliver me and set  me on the solid rock. 
          “Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.”
I do not lack protection!
 
Vs. 5 “Your prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
Even here I am protected by Your presence.
           “You anoint my head with oil;
             My cup runs over.”
Therefore, I shall not lack Your continual blessings.
 
Vs. 6  “Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the day of my life;
             And I Will dwell in the house of the LORD  
             Forever.”
Because I belong to Christ Jesus, the Good Shepherd, I have eternal life and heaven with Him is my eternal home.
 
“The LORD is my Shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the LORD
Forever.” 
 
Thank you most loving, merciful, gracious, glorious Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit for this Palm of Your everlasting loving care for Your helpless sheep! 
We worship and adore You Most Holy God.  Amen
 
So we sing:
“Bless the LORD O my soul,
Bless the LORD O my soul;
And all that is within me,
Bless His holy name.
 
And forget not all of His benefits,
And forget not all of His benefits,
And forget not all of His benefits;
Bless the LORD O my soul.”
