The Bible Says:

The Lord Is My Strength and My Shield

Of David.

28:1 To you, O Lord, I call;
my rock, be not deaf to me,
lest, if you be silent to me,
I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy,
when I cry to you for help,
when I lift up my hands
toward your most holy sanctuary.

3 Do not drag me off with the wicked,
with the workers of evil,
who speak peace with their neighbors
while evil is in their hearts.
4 Give to them according to their work
and according to the evil of their deeds;
give to them according to the work of their hands;
render them their due reward.
5 Because they do not regard the works of the Lord
or the work of his hands,
he will tear them down and build them up no more.

6 Blessed be the Lord!
For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.

8 The Lord is the strength of his people;
he is the saving refuge of his anointed.
9 Oh, save your people and bless your heritage!
Be their shepherd and carry them forever.

—Psalm 28

And here is a thought:

by: Cathy Jara.

Even when David was the shepherd of Israel, he fully recognized who was the true Shepherd was and was quick to call on Him for help. David knew that his strength and power came from God. King Saul forgot to lean on the true Shepherd and which quickly led to his own demise. When we recognize that God is the true leader and we allow Him to be in control through us, He is able to use us to complete His work and does not need to replace us. Pray that our leaders will always recognize who the true Shepherd is.
