The 23rd Psalm: "I Have What I Need" (Psalm 23:1)

On Sunday, Pastor Bryan Catherman preached the first verse of the 23rd Psalm: “The Lord is my shepherd; I have what I need.” What does it mean that the Lord is my shepherd? He’s not "a" shepherd or "the" shepherd—he’s "my" shepherd. How should this inform our understanding of the relationship between the shepherd and the sheep? What about our relationship between Jesus and his redeemed people? Additionally, what does David mean when he says he has what he needs? Is this the prosperity gospel or is our need something beyond this world? What’s the difference between need and want? What does having the shepherd have to do with having what we need?

Psalm 23:1 is a rich verse worth our deeper thought and contemplation.
