Is the Lord YOUR Shepherd?
By Reverend Dr. Raymond Smith
In this episode, we dive into one of the most familiar yet deeply personal questions a believer can ask: Is the Lord my Shepherd? Drawing from Psalm 23, Psalm 91, Psalm 139, and Proverbs, we unpack the meaning of truly following God's lead, not just when life is easy, but especially when it's uncertain. This lesson explores God's protection, His deep knowledge of us, and how His guidance brings peace, even in the valleys of life.
We’ll also look at practical ways to follow the Shepherd daily through prayer, community, and recognizing the needs around us. Whether you’re in a season of seeking direction or simply needing a reminder that you're not alone, this episode offers clarity and encouragement for walking closely with God every day.
