. . . I lack nothing. — Psalm 23:1 This is a bold statement for the psalm writer to make: “I lack nothing.” Is this a statement that you can make too? This psalm is attributed to King David, so we might think, “It’s easy for a king to say that he lacks nothing!” (David’s story is found in 1 Samuel 16 – 1 Kings 2.) David wasn’t born into royalty, and he sometimes experienced a great deal of want and danger. He was also well acquainted with sheep because he was a shepherd when he was young. He even understood wandering firsthand because at times he had to be drawn back from paths that would lead to misery. David is not writing here about having enough stuff. He is testifying to how deeply he trusts the Lord to guide him onto the right paths and to provide for him along the way. I imagine David recalling times when he was in danger and how God provided him with friends, allies, and spiritual care when he needed these things most. This was true when David’s life was in danger. It was also true when his very soul was in peril because he stole another man’s wife (2 Samuel 11-12). David declares that the Lord his shepherd is worthy of his trust, and he does this with boldness because the Lord has never let him down. In what ways has the shepherd provided for you in your journey with him? Thank you, Good Shepherd, for your constant, loving care. Grow in me a deepening sense of trust in your provision. Amen.
