Psalms 23:1. The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
How can a sheep want when it has a good and wise shepherd able and willing to provide for it: and how can a believer want when he has God himself, the ever-gracious and omnipotent Lord of all, to forestall his needs and to prevent him from ever knowing what want means? David does not say, "I shall have all I wish for because the Lord is my Shepherd;" but he does say, "I shall not want. Not only have I no want now, but I never shall want while my Shepherd lives. Though I am only one out of his countless flock, yet he cares for me, and therefore I shall not want." Why should a believer think that he shall ever want? Let him look at his present condition.
