Psalm 23:1 — The Shepherd Who Provides
Scripture
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”
Psalm 23:1 (KJV)
Quiet Reflection
This verse does not promise abundance. It promises sufficiency. A shepherd doesn’t give sheep everything they want; he gives them everything they need.
“I shall not want” is not denial. It is trust.
Sanctuary Lens
At Dalo Acres, provision rarely arrives early and almost never in excess. Feed bins empty at the same pace faith grows. And still, needs are met.
Guiding truth: Provision follows trust, not panic.
Devotional Thought
The Shepherd walks ahead. Our role is not control, but follow-through.
Practice for Today
Pray: Lord, help me trust Your care.
Act: Release one worry you’re gripping.
Rest: Sit quietly and breathe “I shall not want.”
