In trying to discover God's will for our life, we must not forget that He is our Shepherd.
(1) He supplies our needs (v. 1)
He knows all our needs. He supplies them at the correct time because He cares about our spiritual growth.
(2) He restores us (v.3)
He restores our soul from our sins, from our enemies, and from the shadow of death.
(3) He leads us (v. 3)
He guides us in the paths of righteousness. He takes us in the paths of right living. He calls us to follow behind Him. We just have to follow His footsteps.
(4) He protects us (v. 4)
He protects us in the shadow of death. He protects us in our trials and tribulation. He stands beside us, He rescues us, and He brings us safely home.
(5) He richly blesses us (v. 5)
Occasionally, He keeps all our foes at bay. He makes joy abound in our hearts with His many blessings.
(6) He perseveres to the end with us (v. 6)
His goodness and love will follow us all our days. He will not give up until His goodness and mercy have followed us home to His eternal glory.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
