Do you enjoy His presence, His guidance,
His care and protection even in the darkest

is no shadow without the sun being there.
The shadow of a dog can’t bite you
The shadow of a gun can’t shoot you
The shadow of death can’t destroy you as
long as you know the Good Shepherd and
the Good Shepherd knows you.
David says in the first verse of this Psalm
“The Lord is My Shepherd I shall not want.”
There is nothing he lacks because of his
relationship with his Lord, his Shepherd.
David did not lack boldness to go up to that
great giant of a man, Goliath and killed
him with a slingshot, because he knew that
his Shepherd was with him every step of
the way.
An old hymn says:
Wherever He may guide me,
No want shall turn me back;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack.
His wisdom ever waketh,
His sight is never dim;
He knows the way He taketh,
And I will walk with Him.
I wonder today – you might think you
know the Psalm, but do you really know
the Shepherd. Do you know the One who
longs to always be there with you, who
gave up His life for you, who longs to guide
you and provide for you, to lead you into
green pastures and restore your soul? If
not, why not come and join us at one of
our Sunday morning services and we would
love to introduce you to Him, Jesus the
Good Shepherd. We meet every Sunday
at 11am. You can find us in Puerto de
