Excerpt from Book

The Basic Question Just Who Is Your Shepherd? Right there in the opening line of Psalm 23, we find the essence and climax and consummation of what the whole psalm is about: "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." But immediately a problem reveals itself in our reaction to these well-known words from David. While everybody likes part two of the verse--naturally we want our wants and needs provided for--many of us would just as soon skip part one, the bothersome part about making the Lord our Shepherd. So my simple question for you is this: I''m assuming the Lord is your Savior, but is He also your Shepherd? In other words, do you want the promise of the second half of verse 1 bad enough to get the first half right? I assure you that you''ll be better prepared to answer that question after we take a closer look at each word in this brief opening phrase of this most famous psalm and we experience the deep and true encouragement to be found there. "The Lord..." First of all, David identifies his Shepherd as "the Lord." What does David really mean by that name? The Hebrew word for "Lord" in this verse is Yahweh. That''s God''s formal name, and it takes us back to Exodus 3, where God was leading Moses into a tough situation that was too big for him to handle. On that occasion, God revealed to Moses that His name is "I Am That I Am." That''s Yahweh, the same "Lord" that David talks about. What kind of name is this? If Yahweh the Lord is the one who meets all our needs, we really do need to know and understand His name. "I Am That I Am" conveys first of all God''s selfexistence. He''s the eternally existent One. God exists because God exists. He isn''t defined by anything outside Himself. His existence is wrapped up in His existence; the total circumference of who God is within God Himself. Therefore God is also self-sufficient. He depends on nothing outside Himself in order to be God. He is sustained by Himself, which means He is of necessity consistent with Himself. When I''m cold, I need a coat. When I''m hungry, I need food. When I''m sick, I need a doctor. I have to go outside myself to have my needs met. But not God, because all that He requires, He is. What this means practically is that God has what no one in all creation has: an eternally unchangeable nature. God will always be as He is now and as He reveals Himself to be, because "I Am That I Am." God is the same yesterday and today and tomorrow. His essential nature does not change because it cannot change, because it''s defined by His own internal reality that needs nothing outside Himself. You and I, on the other hand, live in an atmosphere of constant change. The weather changes, our health changes, our mood changes, our level of knowledge changes. We constantly fluctuate and oscillate and deviate as we find ourselves in varying circumstances. But God never changes. What He was, He is. What He is, He will always be. That means God is the most consistent thing in your life. The most dependable thing you have going for you is not your family or your friends or your bank account or your life''s work. The best and the most consistent thing you have going for you is your God, and we see that even in His name. "I Am That I Am," He says. There is constancy with God. When it came to meeting his needs and overcoming his struggles in life, David knew he needed someone consistent and steadfast to lean on. He didn''t want a Shepherd who would only be there sometimes. He needed a Shepherd he could bank on 24/7. And only the Lord God can be that. And because of who He is, God already possesses all that it takes to fully satisfy us. All the raw materials necessary to address our deepest needs are already built into His identity. He doesn''t have to go look for it or buy it or borrow it. He has it, because I Am That I Am. He''s a one-stop shop. So you want to make sure your Shepherd is not some cheap god, but the unchanging Yahweh, the Lord, the only God. The Bible is His r
