Jehovah Rohi
• JEHOVAH ROHI: THE LORD IS OUR SHEPHERD.
[The Lord] tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart…
I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
Know that the LORD is God. It is he who made us, and we are his… the sheep of his pasture.
o Sheep are stupid.
o Sheep are fearful.
o Sheep are vulnerable.
JEHOVAH ROHI
1) CARES FOR YOU WITH HIS PROVISION.
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
The LORD is my shepherd; I have everything I need.
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus
2) CALMS YOU WITH HIS PEACE.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul.
…present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
3) COMFORTS YOU WITH HIS PRESENCE.
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.
…You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way;
