I Shall Not Want

“The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.” Most people will recognize that opening verse from Psalm 23. This psalm has a universal appeal. It is a psalm of God’s strength and grace for all ages.

And there isn’t a person on the face of the earth who wouldn’t like to be able to say, “I shall not want.” There isn’t anyone who wouldn’t like to know perfect peace and tranquility and satisfaction and security.

Regardless of where they live, their economic status, their age, their color, or their culture, everyone wants to know this satisfaction. And here David, the author of this psalm, says it. David says it confidently, unhesitatingly, and without qualification. He frankly says, “I shall not want.”

How could David say this? That’s what we want to learn and tomorrow we will continue to look at this psalm. I invite you to follow along either on the radio or online. And let us know if you do.
