Where Animals Heal and Hope Grows
Weekly Devotional
Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Verse
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” Psalm 23:1
Context: David describes a God who leads with care, presence, and provision.
Reflection
This verse is not about having everything. It is about knowing who walks ahead of you. A shepherd stays close, watches carefully, and moves at the pace of the flock.
At Dalo Acres, we see this truth lived out daily. Animals heal best when they feel safe and guided, not rushed. In the same way, God does not drive us forward. He leads us.
When we trust His care, our grip on fear loosens. Want fades when trust grows.
Takeaway
You are not alone on the path. Let the Shepherd set today’s pace.
- Name one worry and place it in God’s care.
- Practice gratitude for what is already provided.
- Move slower and notice where peace shows up.
Prayer
Lord, You are my Shepherd.
Help me trust Your lead when I feel uncertain.
Teach me contentment and quiet confidence in Your care. Amen.
