Jesus Christ is raising up an army to defeat the enemy of our souls, not with weapons of war, but with the and the SPIRIT.
Every soul needs a shepherd.
Reflecting on how David points us to Jesus as our shepherd can be a deeply enriching exercise. Here are some personal reflection questions to ponder:
- In what ways do I see parallels between David’s role as a shepherd and Jesus’ role as the Good Shepherd?
- How does David’s intimate relationship with his sheep mirror Jesus’ intimate care for His followers?
- Do I fully trust Jesus as my shepherd, as David trusted God? If not, what barriers exist in my heart or mind?
- What aspects of Jesus’ character as the Good Shepherd do I find most comforting or challenging? Why?
- Reflecting on Psalm 23, how does Jesus fulfill each aspect mentioned by David?
- In what ways do I experience Jesus guiding, protecting, and providing for me in my daily life?
- Am I willing to follow Jesus’ lead, even into unknown or difficult situations, trusting that He knows what’s best for me?
- How can I emulate David’s trust and dependence on God in my own relationship with Jesus?
- Are there areas of my life where I am resistant to Jesus’ shepherding? If so, why?
- What steps can I take to deepen my relationship with Jesus, allowing Him to be the shepherd of my life in a more profound way?
These questions can serve as a starting point for personal reflection and prayer, helping you to deepen your understanding of Jesus as your shepherd through the example of David.
