Restoration is a major theme in scripture. One might think that those in the shepherd’s care do not need to be “restored,” but a shepherd knows how easy it is for sheep to become “cast,” lost, or injured, for a variety of reasons. Learn how the Lord, the good shepherd, has provided for people like the Shunamite woman. And he will provide for us, so we can confidently proclaim, “He restores my soul!”

How is it that the Lord, our shepherd, is able to “make us lie down in green pastures?” What does this agricultural analogy mean to so many of us who are so far removed from a pastoral life?

Let the scriptures reveal the full meaning of this text and illuminate how God provides all we need to be at rest “in green pastures.”

Lord our Shepherd we shall not want. Are we contented, knowing that the Lord God will provide the things that we need? The world we live tends to make us feel dissatisfied and always wanting more, whereas the Lord says he will take care of us if we trust in Him and follow his leadership in our lives. So what master are we following?

What is the nature of our Lord? He is the good Shepherd! Do we have the confidence we should have, knowing that it is the Lord God, who is our Shepherd? Do we understand the benefits of having a good master, a faithful shepherd, who understands our every need, and has the means to provide for us? David the shepherd King of Israel understood what it was to be a part of God’s flock, with the Lord our Shepherd.

God uses the metaphor of sheep and shepherd to describe in rich detail the kind of care that good Shepherds have for their flock, and the attitude that faithful sheep have towards the Shepherd.
The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil;
For You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever.
