In Psalms 23:4, David made reference to God’s rod and staff. It brought comfort to him and consoled him. The rod of a pastor was used to protect the sheep from any predators that would seek to harm them. The pastor’s staff would gently direct and guide the sheep to green pastures and refreshing streams. Today, God wants to remind you that the Lord Jesus is your pastor, and as such, will always protect you from your enemies, and will guide you to divine provision and resources. You can depend on Jesus, our Chief Shepherd!
Psalms 23:4 (B) Ampl. – Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort and console me.
