Responsible for His Sheep 7/10 Wednesday Wisdom

The shepherd is responsible for the protection of the sheep.  He is responsible for their food and water, and so my Shepherd, Jesus, says, "I am the Bread of Life.  He that cometh to me shall not hunger, and he that believeth on me shall never thirst."
How that fits into the thought of the shepherd.  He leads me down where the waters are gentle and quiet. He takes me back then where the alfalfa is rich.  In every place in life He cares for me.
You can almost hear Paul say, "My God shall supply every need of yours" (Philippians 4:19).
Or, Ephesians 1:3, "Who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlies in Christ."
He is my Protector and Caretaker.  He is my Shield.  No enemy can touch me.
