God is I Am. We find Him in the present. He desires our attention, right now, in the immediate. Having the grass for just right now, means that we must keep our attention on Him, right now, always.
kung tayoy nakapukos sa Panginoon ating makikita ang greenpasture na ating hinahanap sa sanlibutan kaya naman habang hinahanap natin ang mgaiyon nalalayo tayo sa Panginoon ang pokus natin ay napupunta sa pagkita ng mga kayamanan sa ibabaw ng lupa ito ang nagiging priority ng mga tao ! sana tumuon tayo sa mga bagay na para sa Panginoon ang manatili sa kanyang pagpapala manatili tayong magtiwala at unti unti ang gren pasture ay wala d2 nasa langit na bayan!
Awesome! This helps me a lot since I was reading this scripture today. I'm a worrier by nature. The Shepherd gives what we need for right now! Awesome how God chooses to speak to us at times.
What you are saying is that God created you a worrier. How much do you really believe that you are a Child of God, made in his own image and according to his Will, not the your will, not of the blood, the Will of God. You can do nothing to be His child. You just have to believe… what are you believing about you? What you says about you: his planting for the display of his splendour, a saint, a holy one, you are one with him… or what you mind tells you…Look up Prophet Lovy and let his teaching quickens your spirit.
So many miss the point of the scriptures. If the people explaining the scriptures without Jesus means they are mislead. The psalm is about Jesus. Jesus's shepherd is His Father. These are Jesus's words prophetically written by david. Also read luke 24. John 5:39 (KJV) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. Now read psalm 23 as Jesus cries out to His Father
What Truth! What beauty! I have been praying to be delivered and I heard from the Lord this morning that I have been waiting for something Big, something Monumental to happen. He said, He is the 'still small voice', I Kings, He 'directs my steps' Proverbs, to follow and obey what I have heard and 'persevere' James and to 'abide in Him', John. Then He told me to look at the Lambs and the Shepherd-this led me to watch this video! Hallelujah!🙌
Everything in life reiterates the same message that “God is good all the time.” May our eyes be open to see this message everywhere we go and in everything we do.
Gods grace is more than enough.. At times, His ways may be confusing for us to comprehend but God wants us to trust Him, follow and rely on Him just like the shepherd. We are the flock, we follow and we will feed by His green pastures of His Word, be quenched our thirst by the still waters of His Holy spirit and be totally restored in our whole being, our soul..
That is exactly what God tells us, but we picture our wants instead of our needs as this video days. God is perfect and so is His provision for us. We may feel helpless (been there), but never hopeless with Him.
A good reminder of His faithfulness, always. The visual explanation is so powerful and puts things in perspective. He gives us what we need and what is our portion. Thank you Lord for contentment in Christ and your unchanging character.
PASTURE in Hebrew is Naah (H499)the same word for home and Habitation. The dry world after man sinned is now our Home. We lived each day of need and hunger. A sheep can only have a grass if the sheep walks bowing his head, follow and listening to the shepherd. A lot of dust and rocks everywhere for the sheep instead of a green farm land will make the sheep stumble every day. (A valley of the shadow of death) The good thing is the shepherd is there and the shepherd knew exactly where he leads the sheep. When the sheep falls or stumble THE SHEEP KEEPS moving, this is the right path anyway. GREEN in Hebrew is Deshe (H1877) the same word for Herb. The Good shepherd provides us not only grass but healing us each day. I love the new grass the sheep can feed, it reminds me of God's love that is new every morning. A new grass we need each morning to seek it first (the tender grass of the morning - the word of God) A new grass each morning reminds me that God loves to provide me fresh and new things. Thanks for your video, it changed the way i see Psalm 23. GOD BLESS. GLORY TO GOD
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (July 18, Pentecost 8), this was our Psalm of the Day. On February 20, 2017, my mother entered the Church Triumphant. At the graveside portion of the funeral, this was read.
It's beautiful. It makes sense because few days bk i felt i couldn't concentrate first half an hour in my exam, next i said this Psalm almost broken but said it few lines, the next one and a half hour worked out for me. Atleast those one and a half hour.
YESHUA REIGNS FOREVER 🙏 Amen Thank you so much for sharing the valuable spiritual explanation. GOD bless you and your family always in abundance Brother
Amazing! I have a small backlot on my property in the Philippines and grass grow and so I till the soil to get rid of the grass. A few days later the grass are growing again. All these goats in this video would feed a lot better in my small lot! Amazing isn’t it?
Beautiful illustration. Yes.....green pastures.....in the middle of the arid, dry dessert of life.....we can drink from the fountain of living water and have the bread of life. Praise God hallelujah!
Amazing how little we need to survive! so if the greedy shared...what wonderful results we would experience.... crazy to think the rich man would not give up his belongings... take care & bless you all....
Missed the entire point of the scriptures. Psalm 23 is about Jesus and not david and He walked through the valley of death and His Father restored His soul. John 5:39 (KJV) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. Acts 2 24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it. 25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: 26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: 27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. 28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 29 ¶ Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. 30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; 31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. 32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses. 33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear. 34 ¶ For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, 35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool. 36 ¶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. 25 ¶ Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? 27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. 28 ¶ And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further. 29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. 30 ¶ And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. 32 ¶ And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures? 33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, 34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. 35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. Other Appearances (John 20:19-23; Acts 1:3-5; 1 Cor. 15:5 ) 36 ¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. 37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. 38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? 39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. 40 ¶ And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? 42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. 43 And he took it, and did eat before them. 44 ¶ And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 ¶ And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
He has more than you can ever imagine for you not just enough, more like over flowing abundance, believe, trust and receive Jesus' Finished work on the cross he died poor so you and I can have more than enough the Bible says pressed down, shaken togather and running over!
Another interesting side light is that once an animal like these sheep have adapted to harsh conditions, being plopped down in knee-deep alfalfa with access to sweet feed could actually kill them. We once met a caretaker at a living history farm. He cared for a historic breed of sheep that had been shipwrecked off the coast of Virginia for several hundred years. When he came on the scene at the farm, the sheep were dying. No one could understand why because they had all the grass, hay, and sweet feed they could possibly want. The problem was, that having adapted to thriving on whatever scrub they could find on the island, like the sheep in the video, too much abundance overwhelmed their systems. They may have enjoyed easy access to everything they could possibly want, but in the end, it wasn’t what they actually needed to thrive. It’s just human nature to want it easy, but easy isn’t always what’s best for us.
I also question this interpretation, though its a nice thought and a lovely idea that he presents here. Maybe i am missing something but the hebrew in Psalm 23 says God makes them 'yarbitz' - (lie down) - in green growth/sprouts 'dashe'. -- Not, "walk along a path and graze and eat sprouts as he suggests in this video. Lying down, green pastures and still water is an image of restful abundance, not scarcity. Very different imagery.
He makes me to lie down in pastures of green...the Psalm doesn't say just how much green there is. A desert is a desert. After eating of the green that He leads us to, just enough to be satisfied, than we lie down. God is a God of abundance. Not gluttony. Need not waste. HALLELUJAH.
He started off saying "This is called green pasture.." and then started to build his case on that statement, but who exactly called that place green pasture? Was it named green pasture in the times of David? The gospel is given to everyone including the poor and uneducated and God speaks to everyone directly through his word. The most immediate sense of the meaning is usually the intended. Let us not read into the Bible theology based on today's culture and context. The immediate context of the Scripture is "I shall not lack", so the green pastures obviously points to the abundance of God's provisions
Hallo George, Yes, the Bible should be taken at face-value. But face-value for a people in a desert might be exactly what he is saying...and a little is never too little with Him and therefore abundace: the sheep do have abundant feed, they are not starving and can breed, bring life into the world - is that not abundance? So in this life, before our good Lord restores all fully, we are also often a desert people, longing for His coming. But we have the assurance and certainty that He will provide enough manna for us, enough for each day; and we will be able to shine His light and enlarge His Name, even in the desert. This is His abundance, is it not? That we can be without fear of lacking, and even contribute to the Glory of His Name - when we have very little to go by, whether this is spiritual or financially or whatsoever manner of lean times. A little is never too little with Him, and therefore it is abundance in Him Who breaks the bread. In the desert, there was plenty enough water from the rock, but they did not swim in it. Lord bless
What a lesson to learn.. literally living a day at a time. Help me to trust you oh Lord day after day.
Thank you Lord for this, it puts a perspective on how just a little amount of 'green pastures' we need to serve
God is I Am. We find Him in the present. He desires our attention, right now, in the immediate. Having the grass for just right now, means that we must keep our attention on Him, right now, always.

He will get what you need right now. Trust the Shepard. That’s so powerful! Thank you for this
God is good! By the grace of our good shepherd, Yeshua messiah, Jesus Christ.
Yes He Is Good!! Amen Leynier
He is so worthy Hallelujah
What a revelation for us in the west. Thank you for sharing
He’s always with you if you repent and believe in him. He will never leave you ❤️
Then always speak the Truth,
That is by far the best explanation of Psalm 23 and also accurate. U just gotta feel it in ur heart n believe it is true.
A sheep farmer once shared that a sheep only lies down when it has been fed and satisfied.
Well defined to comprehend Psalms 23 from a different perspective. So blessed. Shalom from Kuwait 🇰🇼
Awesome! This helps me a lot since I was reading this scripture today. I'm a worrier by nature. The Shepherd gives what we need for right now! Awesome how God chooses to speak to us at times.

My Goodness! He (The Good Shepherd) is Doing that to me RIGHT NOW! A steep learning curve as steep as that hill you cited! Thanks 🙏
My absolute favorite psalm
Thankful for coming across this and understanding that my Good Shepherd will meet my needs “just enough” every single day. ❤️🙏❤️
Gods grace is more than enough.. At times, His ways may be confusing for us to comprehend but God wants us to trust Him, follow and rely on Him just like the shepherd.

Huh. No scarity model philosophy. Always.
I have been learning from your holy land sermon for over 20 years. The real story in the real setting - no imagination. Thanks!
That is exactly what God tells us, but we picture our wants instead of our needs as this video days. God is perfect and so is His provision for us. We may feel helpless (been there), but never hopeless with Him.
Thank you Lord for my daily green food that is Always enough.
Amen..
I love that!!!🙏 Glory be to the Good Shepherd who knows what is best for me....🙌
Exactly what I said after watching this! Bless you

Missed the entire point of the scriptures. Psalm 23 is about Jesus and not david and He walked through the valley of death and His Father restored His soul.
John 5:39 (KJV)
Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Acts 2
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
25 For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:
26 Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope:
27 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
28 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance.
29 ¶ Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day.
30 Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne;
31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
34 ¶ For David is not ascended into the heavens: but he saith himself, The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand,
35 Until I make thy foes thy footstool.
36 ¶ Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.
25 ¶ Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.
28 ¶ And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them.
30 ¶ And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight.
32 ¶ And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread.
Other Appearances
(John 20:19-23; Acts 1:3-5; 1 Cor. 15:5 )
36 ¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
40 ¶ And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
44 ¶ And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
46 ¶ And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Thank You!
Glory to god
so cool
Wow!
Thankyou💜🙏🌹🕊 🙋
God provides just enough.
Excellent
Yes it is in the desert where you meet God and enjoy his miracles work!
Thankyou
🥺🥺🥺 HALLELUJAH
Similarly I have found trust is like relying on manna from heaven… you have just enough for that day but you always have enough…
wow!!!!
Just enough ❤️ that's fine with me.
He has more than you can ever imagine for you not just enough, more like over flowing abundance, believe, trust and receive Jesus' Finished work on the cross he died poor so you and I can have more than enough the Bible says pressed down, shaken togather and running over!
Another interesting side light is that once an animal like these sheep have adapted to harsh conditions, being plopped down in knee-deep alfalfa with access to sweet feed could actually kill them.
We once met a caretaker at a living history farm. He cared for a historic breed of sheep that had been shipwrecked off the coast of Virginia for several hundred years.
When he came on the scene at the farm, the sheep were dying. No one could understand why because they had all the grass, hay, and sweet feed they could possibly want.
The problem was, that having adapted to thriving on whatever scrub they could find on the island, like the sheep in the video, too much abundance overwhelmed their systems. They may have enjoyed easy access to everything they could possibly want, but in the end, it wasn’t what they actually needed to thrive.
It’s just human nature to want it easy, but easy isn’t always what’s best for us.
Great words! Thank you....teaching a Sunday school lesson tomorrow and I am going to use this info. Thank you!
Scott 😊
@@canoslo6126 The lesson went well.... Thank you again.
Scott So glad!
I also question this interpretation, though its a nice thought and a lovely idea that he presents here. Maybe i am missing something but the hebrew in Psalm 23 says God makes them 'yarbitz' - (lie down) - in green growth/sprouts 'dashe'. -- Not, "walk along a path and graze and eat sprouts as he suggests in this video. Lying down, green pastures and still water is an image of restful abundance, not scarcity. Very different imagery.
You are right,(Where is " He makes me to lie down in green pastures, He leads me besides still waters" ?
'
He makes me to lie down in pastures of green...the Psalm doesn't say just how much green there is. A desert is a desert. After eating of the green that He leads us to, just enough to be satisfied, than we lie down. God is a God of abundance. Not gluttony. Need not waste. HALLELUJAH.
