Psalms 23 is a favorite scripture for many. I was meditating on this passage recently and a few things really spoke to my heart. I love to read a text in a variety of translations. One translation of verse 1 states that “The Lord is my shepherd, I have everything I need.” I spent some time meditating on this verse. The Lord is my shepherd, I have all I need, I shall not want, I lack for nothing are some other renderings. The Lord has always showed me New Testament counterparts to Old Testament scriptures. The verse Colossians 2:10 came to my memory.: “And you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.” or “You have reached fullness in Him who is the head…” We have everything we need in Christ. If it’s not in Christ, we don’t need it, because we are complete in Him. Peter says it this way: “According as His divine power hath given us all things that pertain unto life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3).” We have everything we need in Christ. Jesus is my shepherd, I lack for nothing. What is your need today? Receive what you need from your union with Christ. It’s stated in many different ways throughout the scripture. Here’s one more: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ (Eph 1:3).”
