The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.

Psalm 23:1

Life is uncertain. Most days, we don’t really know what lies ahead—what conversations we’ll have, what challenges we’ll face, or what news might catch us off guard. But in the middle of all that uncertainty, there is one unshakable truth we can rely on: the LORD is our Shepherd. He sees us, He cares for us, and He is deeply involved in our circumstances.

During worship this morning, our worship leader read from Romans 8:37–39, a passage that never fails to steady my heart:

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

What a powerful reminder. No matter what we are facing—or what we fear may be coming—God’s love is not fragile. It doesn’t waver with our emotions or disappear in hard seasons. Nothing can separate us from His love.

Scripture often describes us as sheep, and honestly, that fits. We can be anxious, easily distracted, and prone to wander. Yet God doesn’t recoil from that reality. Instead, He meets it with compassion. Jesus Himself said, “I am the good shepherd” (John 10:11).

That truth brings to mind Jesus’ parable in Luke 15:

“What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing… ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep that was lost.’ Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.”
Luke 15:4–7

This is the heart of our Shepherd. He notices when one is missing. He goes looking. And when He finds us, He doesn’t scold or shame—He rejoices. He carries us home.

In a world that feels unpredictable and often overwhelming, what comfort it is to know that we are never forgotten, never abandoned, and never beyond His reach.

Aren’t you grateful that the Good Shepherd was willing to search for us—and still is today?
