The Good Shepherd: Part 2

May 11, 2025    Jeff O'Harra

In this exploration of Psalm 23, we're reminded of the profound truth that the Lord is our shepherd. This familiar passage takes on new depth as we consider what it truly means to have God as our guide and protector. We're challenged to examine whether we've truly allowed Jesus to be our shepherd, or if we're still trying to navigate life on our own terms. The message draws compelling parallels between our spiritual journey and the relationship between a shepherd and his sheep, emphasizing how completely we depend on God's care and provision. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to listen for God's voice in our lives and to respond to His call. This isn't just about passive belief, but about actively following where He leads, trusting in His guidance even when the path seems uncertain. The message invites us to find peace and purpose in surrendering to God's shepherding, reminding us that in Him, we shall not want.
