The Names of God (Week 8: Jehovah Rohi)

Jehovah Rohi means 'The Lord is my Shepherd,' revealing God as our personal caretaker who provides everything we need. Like sheep who lack intelligence, direction, defense, and self-cleaning abilities, we depend completely on our Shepherd for guidance and protection. God leads us to rest in green pastures, refreshes us with still waters, and guides us along right paths. Even in dark valleys, He protects us with His rod and staff, prepares tables of provision in the presence of enemies, and anoints us with oil to bring peace. With Jesus as our Good Shepherd who laid down His life for us, we can trust that goodness and mercy will follow us all our days.
