8. GOD Psalm 23 Jehovah Rohi What’s in a name? Jehovah Rohi = “The Lord is our Shepherd” Isaiah 40:11 “He tends his flock like a shepherd: he gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.” John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” Psalm 100:3 “Know that the L ORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture.” Video Clip

9. GOD Psalm 23 Jehovah Rohi First Biblical Thought... Jehovah Rohi cares for you with His provision Psalm 23:1 “The L ORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.” Philippians 4:19 “And my God [Jehovah Rohi] he will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.” “The Lord is my shepherd. I have everything that I need.” (NLT) One Searching for happiness in a material world Two Searching for security in a material world

10. GOD Psalm 23 Jehovah Rohi Second Biblical Thought... Jehovah Rohi will calm you with His peace Psalm 23:2-3 “He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” Philippians 4:6-7 “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Stress One... Our schedules Two... Our ‘psycho’ relatives

11. GOD Psalm 23 Jehovah Rohi Third Biblical Thought... Jehovah Rohi brings comfort in His presence Psalm 23:4 “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” vs.5-6 “You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all of the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” “He comforts me with His staff…” “…your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” How long are you allowed to stay in the presence of Jehovah Rohi?
