Psalm 23:1
The Lord is my shepherd – I shall not want!
Psalm 23 is one of the best-known psalms. Even unchurched people know at least these first 9 words. The whole Psalm speaks of trusting God, His protection and care. These are the main needs of most people, maybe in our days more than ever before. While non-Christians might quote these words because they sound so nice and full of hope – Christians say them with deep confidence through faith in God’s faithfulness.
For they know the Lord personally. They know Him as their shepherd. They know Him as the only trustworthy shepherd guiding and sheltering, caring and refreshing them. They know that they shall not want because they have already tasted and seen the goodness of the Lord.
And – they are fully aware that this Psalm could become their personal testimony. Because it is written in first person! The altogether 12 “declarations of faith”, applicable in a 2-week-turn with each 6 days, are well suitable for testifying the faith, giving thanks, praying for oneself or interceding for others. Because Psalm 23 is lifelong valid, the applications could be repeated endlessly…
Psalm 23,1
Der Herr ist mein Hirte, mir wird nichts mangeln!
Psalm 23 ist einer der bekanntesten Psalmen. Selbst kirchenferne Menschen kennen wenigstens diese ersten 9 Worte. Der ganze Psalm spricht vom Vertrauen auf Gott, Seinem Schutz und Seiner Fürsorge. Das sind die Hauptanliegen der meisten Menschen, vielleicht in unseren Tagen mehr als je zuvor. Während Nichtchristen diese Worte zitieren mögen, weil sie so nett und hoffnungsvoll klingen, – sprechen Christen sie in tiefer Zuversicht im Glauben an die Treue Gottes.
Denn sie kennen den Herrn persönlich. Sie kennen Ihn als ihren Hirten. Sie kennen Ihn als den einzigen vertrauenswürdigen Hirten, der sie führt und schützt, versorgt und erfrischt. Sie wissen, dass ihnen nichts mangeln wird, weil sie schon die Güte des Herrn geschmeckt und gesehen haben.
Und – sie sind sich dessen bewusst, dass dieser Psalm zu ihrem persönlichen Zeugnis werden kann. Denn er ist in der Ich-Form geschrieben! Die insgesamt 12 „Deklarationen des Glaubens“, anwendbar in einem 2-Wochen-Turnus mit je 6 Tagen, eignen sich gut zum Bezeugen des Glaubens, zum Danken oder zum Beten für sich selbst und andere. Und weil Psalm 23 lebenslang gültig bleibt, könnte man diese Anwendung endlos wiederholen...
