Psalm 23:1 – The LORD is my shepherd
- Thread starter SamuelLukas

I am with Salty, I do not see the reason for this thread.
But let us at least review Psalm 23:1 (NKJV)
A Psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd;
I shall not want.
The Lord refers to our Triune God, Yahweh, rather than to just the Father, or the Son or the Holy Spirit.
I shall not want is ambiguous. Does it mean at some point, perhaps in the future, all my needs will be satisfied? Or does it mean once saved, with Christ as our shepherd, then we will not want to become more like Christ?
We must try and not read into scripture more than it might be saying, i.e. the least God is saying. All these man-made additions are not valid.
