One of the most essential observations to make when reading Psalm 23, is that David writes in the present tense - The Lord IS my Shepherd.
This means that we have God's presence and the promise of everlasting Hope right NOW…. today! This is such good news for us, friends. We don't have to hark back to the days when God was with his people, or when God will come in the future - We can know that he is with us today!
This sentiment is also repeated in many other places in the Bible:
Matthew 1:23 - ‘Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall name him Emmanuel’, which means, ‘God is with us.’
Living in Grace
