Here are some of the ways God is described in the Bible: He is our rock, a shelter from the storm, our hiding place, a gardener, spring of living water, bread of life, friend, light of the world, master, morning star, doctor, king, judge, ruler, savior, teacher, and our creator.
Today we are going to look at how David describes God. Does anyone remember what David's job was? He was a shepherd before he became king. He described God as the good shepherd in Psalms. Does everyone know what a shepherd is?

Sometimes sheep get themselves tangled up in brambles because they aren't looking where they are going. Their fleece is thick and the more they try to free themselves, the more stuck they become. The shepherd has to come and cut the sheep free.
Sheep don't always pay attention to where they are going. Sometimes they are so concerned about what they are eating that they tend to wander off and get lost and the shepherd has to go out and look for them.
We need God to help just like sheep need a shepherd to help them when they get in trouble. We need God to help us do the right things. Sheep need the shepherd to save them when they are in trouble. We need Jesus to save us from our sins. He died for us so we can be forgiven of our sins and live forever with him in heaven.
Sheep can't protect themselves very well. They don't have sharp claws or sharp teeth and they don't run very fast. The shepherd has to protect his sheep from dangerous animals. He carries a rod or stick that he uses to fight off any wild animals. We also need God's protection. We can go to him when we are in trouble or scared, and he will comfort us.
God is our shepherd. He is a good shepherd. A good shepherd knows each one of his sheep by name. He not only knows their names, but he knows every thing about them. He knows what they sound like. He can tell by the way they cry if they are in trouble, lost or sick. God, your shepherd, knows everything about you. He loves you just the way you are, bad things and all. He knows when you are sad, happy or lonely.
Father, thank you for being our good shepherd. Thank you for protecting us, and guiding us, and dying on the cross so that we might be saved. Forgive us when we don't always follow you. Keep us on the right paths and show us the way you would like us to go. Amen.
2. Show them the rods and tell them that the object of the game is to be the first shepherd to get his sheep into the fold with the rest of the sheep (between the chairs. Tell them that "Anyone caught hitting someone with their rod will have to sit out of the game." Give each child a rod.
As the Psalm moves forward, the metaphor of God being a caring shepherd continues to develop. The text says that God MAKES the sheep lie down. David makes such an interesting point. It is not too much to say that during times of worry, left on our own, we do not want to lie down. When we experience anxiety in our lives, we often feel that we must do something. We get busy. God says He will have us lay down in green pastures. Remember from verse one how He said we would not lack anything? Verse 2 shows us that God has already begun to fulfill that promise. Take a moment to picture yourself as a sheep, and God is making you lay down in a green pasture. He then lovingly leads you to a quiet water. If this visual picture is already creating a serene sense in you, that is the point.

I moved to the area in the summer of 2021 and started buying eggs and raw milk which I love. I never get an upset stomach and actually started drinking more milk since I began feeling better overall.... [more]
Today we are going to close in prayer in a slightly different way. I am going to read Psalm 23, which is a song that praises God for being our good shepherd and tells of the great things he does for us. Bow your heads and praise God as you listen.
This is a good lesson. It is just what I needed. I have been doing a lot of reading on shepherds, the Good Shepherd and sheep, but it was not coming together. Thank you for putting it together for me.

Doesn't Romans 7 testify to the wandering nature of your heart? Even though there's been a radical transformation between you and sin, and you're a new creation in Christ yet still, you roam after those things the Lord has forbidden. And isn't it good news that Jesus comes looking for you when you do? That the Good Shepherd leaves those 99 on the hills and goes and looks for the one that wanders off. How much do we need that?
Look at all the things that God says there that he will do for his flock. He says, I will search for them, I will look after them, I will rescue them, I will gather them, I will bring them into their own land, I will pasture them and tend them, I will search for the lost, I will bring back the strays, I will bind up the injured, I will strengthen the weak, I will destroy the sleek and the strong, by that he means the self-reliant who don't need God. I will shepherd with justice, he says. I will judge, I will make a covenant of peace, I will bless them and I will provide for them. That's our Good Shepherd, friends.
Friends there are some things far more important than all of that, far more important than plane crashes and children not making it safely back from a ski trip, we're talking about eternity in heaven or hell. The Good Shepherd knows his sheep and he's gonna get them all safely through this world. And there is no power in heaven or earth or under the earth that can deter him in that purpose. And that's what he's saying here, that we constantly wander off and he constantly brings us back. He is our Good Shepherd, he's speaking here of the value and worth of every single sheep in his flock. They're all of infinite worth and value to him, and he'll do what it takes to get them safely through.
John Bunyan in his classic, Pilgrim's Progress, Christian and Faithful are having a discussion back and forth about apostasy, how it happens. How does somebody drift away from Jesus, what are the steps? These are the kind of things those folks talked about as they walked along the road. What do you talk about? I'm always convicted by the conversations they have in Bunyan's Pilgrim's Progress. Boy, they make the most of every opportunity, don't they? There's nothing wrong with talking about the weather and the ball game and all that, but let's make that short and let's get to some significant things. And so what they talk about is: What are the steps by which somebody gradually aposticizes?
Alright, this is what the answer was. First they stop thinking about God, death, and the judgment to come. They don't think about that anymore. Little by little, secondly, they throw off private duty, such as private prayer and curbing their lusts and watching and sorrow for sin and the like. Thirdly, they avoid the company of lively and warm Christians. Don't wanna be around them. Fourthly, after that, they grow cold to public duty, such as listening to sermons, reading, and Christian fellowship, public worship and the like. Fifthly, they begin to pick holes in the coats of some of the godly, to find faults with the believers. Sixthly, they begin to adhere to and associate themselves with fleshly, loose, and openly sinful men. Hanging out with the wrong kind of people. Seventh, then they give way to sinful habits in secret, and they're glad if they can see such sinful habits in any that are counted honest, that they may more boldly do it through their bad example.
Think of a mother who spends her whole night looking after a sick child, a child feverish, very high temperature. And what will she do for that child? She may have four other children, they're all sleeping in their bed, she's not thinking about them. She's thinking about this one child, she's giving that child a bath, she's trying to reduce that child's temperature, giving it medication. She may be in contact with a doctor, a nurse, whatever it takes. And if after a day or so of struggle, finally the child's fever breaks and eventually the temperature returns to 98.6, she's happier about that one child's 98.6 than about the other four who didn't need to return to that health. That's all. That's all.
