Bible Meditation: 
Ezekiel 34: 1-15

I will feed them in GOOD PASTURE, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a GOOD FOLD and feed in RICH PASTURE on the mountains of Israel – Ezekiel 34:14 (NKJV)

The LORD GOD is Jehovah-Rohi, the Shepherd of our souls. The Lord Jesus Christ is the Good Shepherd, Great Shepherd, and Chief Shepherd: “I am the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd gives His for the sheep” (Jh.10:11); “Now the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that Great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, make you complete in every good work…” (Heb.13:20); “And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that does not fade away” (1Pet.5:4). Is the Lord truly the Shepherd of your soul?

Every shepherd is known by his fold or his pasture. The Lord is our Shepherd (Psa.23:1). For He is our God, and we are the people of His pasture, and the sheep of His hand…” (Psa.95:7); “Know that the LORD, He is God; it is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture” (Psa.100:3). He feeds the flock of His Good Pasture (Isa.40:11). He nourishes His own in a Good Fold, in a RICH pasture (Ezek.34:14). Everything about His Pasture is pleasant. Like the Psalmist sang: “Behold, how GOOD and how PLEASANT it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!

What a blessing it is to be a member of God’s good Fold, His pleasant Pasture, and His rich Fellowship! Here in His wonderful fold, the Shepherd in Person, and through chosen under-shepherds, gathers, guides, guards, feeds, nourishes, and provides for every need of His sheep. In His Good Pasture are all the rest, refreshing, restoration, guidance, direction, courage, boldness, peace, comfort, provisions, protection, power, joy, gladness, goodness, and mercy you could ever need (Psa.23:1-6). If the Lord is your Shepherd; He is all you’ll want. Having the Lord as your Shepherd is having ALL!

Who is your Pastor? Does he know the Good Shepherd? To what fold do you belong? Do you know the Good Shepherd? Does He know you?  Are you a true sheep of His Pasture? Is He the Shepherd of your soul? This striking song comes to mind: Shepherd of my soul, I give you full control; wherever you may lead, I will follow. I have made the choice to listen to Your Voice; wherever You may lead, I will go. Be it in a quiet pasture, or by a gentle stream; the Shepherd of my soul is by my side. Should I face are mighty mountain or a valley dark and deep; the Shepherd of my soul will be my Guide. May God deliver you from the mouth of treacherous shepherds, lead you into His Good Fold, and feed you in His Good Pasture!

Prayer: 
Shepherd of my soul, feed me in Your Pleasant Pasture, nourish me in Your Good Fold, and please be my Guide and Guard for all of eternity, in Jesus name.
