In Psalms, chapter twenty-three, verses one through six, is a psalm conceived in the mind of the Lord and inspired by the Holy Spirit that expresses His concern and diligent care for those who follow Him. They are His cherished objects of His divine love. He cares for each of them as a father cares for His children and as a shepherd for His sheep.
The chapter is under the Shepherd Psalm section, in which the main focus is on the Lord, which is the title. Psalms twenty-three is one of the top chapters to memorize and is easily remembered by many. However, this chapter is easy to remember but not easy to follow. Sure, there have been many interpretations of sermons and bible lessons, but do believers know what they are reciting when they quote these verses?
The title, “The Lord,” is the first two words of Psalms twenty-three, and the rest of this chapter refers to Him from beginning to end. Believers who recite this must realize what they are saying and live it. Otherwise, why recite something if we desire not to do it?
Believers who serve God righteously and spiritually will indicate that a shepherd is a guide for their lives and do not need anyone else. When we desire Him to lead us, He provides the best place of rest, feeds us physically, and directs us in the right way we are to go. He refreshes our minds and hearts. When we encounter people who are evil and up to no good, we shall not be fearful because God is with His people. God will grant us favor to the people who may not like you.
Those who acknowledge God in all things will have His blessing in everything. However, this does not mean believers may live anyhow and do what they please because believers will still go through various trials and tribulations despite reciting this chapter.
