Our Shepherd

But now as to the present journey through a world where everything is against Christ, and therefore against us as believers, and we, like sheep, always ready to turn aside, how can we and for what can we now give thanks? We can each one give thanks because "the Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want." We do not have to pray for a Shepherd, but to give thanks. Oh, to know Him and trust Him more. Think of what He does for us: "He maketh me to lie down in green pastures," etc. Is not every verse in Psa. 23 a wondrous theme for thanksgiving?
In the midst of so much temptation, and needing someone to sustain, succor, and help us so that we do not fail, can we now give thanks? Yes, we can give thanks for our great High Priest. "For in that He Himself hath suffered being tempted, He is able to succor them that are tempted." Heb. 2:18.
