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 résumé, and it’s a thick one. He’s got all the qualifications, all the capacity required to handle the job. He’s managing the lives of billions of people all at the same time. And while He’s taking care of that, He keeps the
earth’s rivers flowing and the breezes blowing and the fields and the flowers and the trees all growing. Meanwhile, He
keeps our planet rotating on its axis and revolving around the sun, even as he manages the affairs of stars and galaxies that only He can ever know the number of.
That’s why David tells the Lord, “You are my shepherd; I’m looking only to You.”
Is the Lord your Shepherd, too? It’s easy to answer yes, but how do you know if it’s something real for you or if you’re just saying the words?
Let me give you a simple test. When you’re challenged or tested or stretched, when you need help, where do you go first? Where do you look? Who do you turn to first? Most folks go to God only after they’ve tried everything else—when nothing else is working, then they try praying. Think about your last crisis. Whatever or whoever you went to first for help in that crisis, that is your shepherd. A man on a trip into the African rainforest was following a guide. As they pushed onward into deeper and darker jungle, the guide with his machete was whacking away at the thick green growth that rose like a wall everywhere before them.
“How do you know where to go?” the man asked. “Where’s the path?”
The guide replied, “I am the path.” It’s a jungle out there, and we need a guide who knows where he’s going and what he’s doing. God is that guide, because He is the great I Am.
“...Is...”
David didn’t say, “The Lord was my shepherd.” He didn’t say, “The Lord will be my shepherd.” He said, “The Lord is my shepherd.” Right now. In this very moment. It’s a presenttense relationship, which it must be, since God’s name is I Am, and that name also reveals His eternal nature. When God says, “I Am That I Am,” He’s saying, “I am always in the present tense.” Everything for God is now. God has never experienced a yesterday. Nor does He have a tomorrow, so God never has to use the words I hope…Why is it important to know this about God? Because when I have a need, my need is in the now. When I have a struggle, my struggle is in the now. When I have a hurt, my hurt is in the now. And God tells us, “I am the Eternal Now. I can meet you in your present experience.”
Then there are those of us that are worried and upset and even popping pills because we’re thinking about tomorrow.
But God shepherds us one day at a time—He makes sure we have enough grace to cover the troubles of today. God says, “Don’t worry. When you get to tomorrow, I’ll be there. Just deal with today. Just let Me be your Shepherd, and I will take care of you. Receive My grace for this moment. And if you take time to thank Me for the present, you won’t have time to worry about tomorrow.”
God meets today’s needs today. He’ll meet tomorrow’s needs tomorrow.
When the people of Israel journeyed through the wilderness, God rained down a certain food for them every morning from on high, like cornflakes from the sky, and the people gathered it up from the ground for that day’s sustenance.
He gave them each morning only a day’s supply of these flakes, except on the sixth day of the week, when He gave them twice as much so they could rest on the Sabbath and not have to gather their food.
It was always enough, but only enough, to supply each day’s need.
God wanted His people to recognize Him as their daily provider. He wanted them to constantly look to Him for their provision.
That’s why God isn’t satisfied with our go-to-churchon-Sunday-and-I’m-good-for-the-week approach to the Christian life. Once you hit Monday, Sunday’s over. It’s “was,” not “is.” God wants a moment-by-moment, day-by-day relationship with each of us, not a once-a-week “refresher.”
“...My...”
“The Lord is my shepherd.” This is an individual situation, a personal relationship. It wasn’t enough for David that the
Lord is a shepherd or even the Shepherd. He knew he had to be able to say that the great I Am is my Shepherd, to say that the Lord is the one I’m depending on for my needs and my salvation.
Sometimes at a crowded restaurant, when you’re waiting for a table and your name is on the waiting list, the hostess will give you a pager to hold. When it’s time for you and your party to be seated, the pager will vibrate. The restaurant staff has your name, and they’re preparing a table just for you. And once it’s ready, if you’re still patiently waiting and holding on to that pager, it will let you know.
Now some people wonder why their spirituality is so lifeless and nothing’s vibrating. It’s because they’re not holding
on to God’s pager and patiently seeking and awaiting their Shepherd’s personal instructions just for them. So they
miss the table He’s prepared for them.
I have shirts that are monogrammed with the letters T. E. They’re not just off-the-rack shirts; they’re personalized.
A lot of Christians want an off-the-rack God, but what God wants with us is a monogrammed relationship. He has your initials inscribed on His heart—and He want His Son’s initials inscribed on your...

In GOD IS MORE THAN ENOUGH, best-selling author and pastor Tony Evans offers a phrase-by-phrase look at Psalm 23. The opening verse states "The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want." Many Christians tend to focus on the second part of verse one: "I shall not want." In contrast, Evans begins this study by challenging readers to seek evidence within their own hearts that would confirm that the Lord truly is their Shepherd. It is this relationship that forms the basis of provision.
Most Christians don't actually believe that God is more than enough. Psalm 23 is an attack, Evans states, against the Christian's lack of trust in God. This lack of trust drives one to seek fulfillment in all the wrong places. If the Lord is your Shepherd the psalmist says you shall not want. In every possible circumstance God is more than enough to meet your needs whether spiritual, directional, emotional, physical or eternal.
Evans has a pastor's heart. He has the ability to teach profound truths in language that even those new to the faith can understand. Although the book is short there is much to ponder. I enjoyed the stories Evans told to further explain each concept. Highly recommended.
I received this book for free from WaterBrook Multnomah Publishing Group for this review.

It's one of the most familiar passages in scripture. Many Christians can quote it, and many who have never set foot in church recognize it immediately. Psalm 23 is not only powerful scripture, it's a beautiful piece of poetry. In his book God is More Than Enough, Pastor Tony Evans, of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in Dallas, gives this beloved Psalm a new reading.
Even if you have memorized Psalm 23, it's probably been too long since you have taken time to read it and reflect on. In what must have been a sermon series at Oak Cliff, Evans reminds us what profound truth there is in this passage. Walking the reader through the Pslam, line by line, word by word, Evans points out the great truths and promises the Good Shephard makes to us. He satisfies us in the midst of life's disappointments and our determination to be self-sufficient. When we realize, sometimes belatedly, that we do need God, he restores us, forcing us to recognize our dependence on him. In the valley of the shadows, often the shadows we create for ourselves, he offers guidance and protection.
As those who have read Evans's books or heard his sermons already know, his tone is deeply pastoral, and his content is solidly biblical. God is More Than Enough will remind you, pastorally and biblically, that "Your God is bigger than your need."

A book with a timeless message, so helpful in today's time, written with modern language to ignite an understanding who our good shepherd is and to provide certainty that he will be there for us as the need arises. Have you ever needed direction or faced a fear and needed assurance? You'll find the writings of Tony Evans to be comforting and restoring. In fact, his analogies will ignite a connection with you in trusting the Creator, to be safe and secure. Basically, the 23rd Psalm can be summed up:
1. God is consistent, so let Him take care of you daily.
2. It's been a long, hard year; He'll renew.
3. He'll restore, give back to you.
4. Guiding the right way.
5. Like a GPS, recalculating and helping us out of a valley.
6. In the shadows of the valley, He gives us a view of Him.
7. "In His will, you're safer than anywhere else you could be."
8. God grants the supply. He sets the table.
9. "God is not subject to the economy."
10. He gives a 'Super size' anointing.
11. God has 'surplus grace.' He's so loyal to us.
12. As a woman of faith, here isn't all there is. Heaven is our home.
I loved this book. It's an easy read in one night. So comforting and full of assurance and hope. I gleaned a new perspective. I really think you're going to like this one.

For Blogging for Books through Multnomah, I picked God is More Than Enough by Tony Evans, which is a delightl 90-page book about Psalm 23.
Mr. Evans breaks down Psalm 23 into six short chapters covering the topic of why God is More than Enough. Starting in Chapter One, he lays a foundation of who God is and the thought that we need to truly make God our Shepherd as Psalm 23 starts with "The Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not Want". He says we need to make sure that we have made God our Shepherd, that we know that we are sheep, and believe that he is able to meet each and every one of our needs, to become totally 100% reliant upon him.
Each subsequent chapter Mr. Evans continues on with more lines from the psalm describing how God can meet our spiritual needs, emotional needs, directional needs, physical needs and eternal needs.
I did enjoy this book so much and found it to be rich in information and encouragement that with whatever I was facing, God was there and was more than capable to meet my needs. Mr. Evans related stories from his own experience as well as others in emphasizing points that helped make what he was saying easy to be understood. This is a book of encouragement for anyone who is facing any struggles in their lives and is short and to the point and can easily be read over the course of a couple of hours, but the information shared in it will last a very long time. I would highly recommend this book to anyone in need of such encouragement or is just interested in reading a perspective about God meeting our needs based on Psalm 23.
