The Lord is my shepherd.
The Lord protects, provides, leads, guides and watches over his people. God takes care of us tenderly as a powerful and patient shepherd to his people.
Psalms 23:1-3 Isaiah 53:6 John 10:14-18 Hebrews 13:20 Revelation 7:17.
Also known as Yahweh Rohi. Jesus is the good shepherd who gave his life in our place. This is a name of God that is associated to his love, mercy and care (Psalms 23:1) God wanted to treat the people of Israel as a shepherd treats his sheep, but the people of Israel did not want to accept this treatment, and repeatedly rebelled against the Good Shepherd's will. God has always wanted to pastor his people (Psalm 28:9). The analogy of God as a shepherd makes us see the great care God has for his people and the gentle nature he has to guide them.
