There are believers who still believe that God helps those who help themselves. Some feel like they have to do everything themselves while others think if they do their part, then God will do His part. What they fail to realize is we are the sheep and He is The Shepherd.
Psalms 23:1-6 NKJV 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.
As sheep, we don’t do anything except be in the presence of The Shepherd. Look at all the things He does for us. He supplies our needs, He gives us pleasant rest, He leads us, He stays with us, He comforts us, He prepares blessings for us, He anoints us, and He gives us a place to dwell.
Nothing in Psalms 23 requires effort from us. He’s doing all the work. The only thing we do is to receive.
The crazy thing about Psalms 23 is these are all the good things God did for us under the old covenant. How much better do we have it being sheep under the new covenant?
Stop trying to do everything yourself. Allow God to be your Shepherd. Anything we want or need, we can find in Him.
