What the Bible says about God our provider
(From Forerunner Commentary)

Psalm 23:1-5 Psalm 23:1 says, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," another instance of Yahweh. This name for God is frequently combined with other words to form more specific descriptions of Him. Psalm 23 is in reality a brief expounding of eight names of God in the first five verses. It brings to light: YHWH-Roi—God our shepherd—Psalm 80:1. YHWH-Jireh—God our provider—Genesis 22:14. YHWH-Shalom—God our peace—Judges 6:24. YHWH-Nissi—God is my banner—Exodus 17:15. YHWH-Ropheka—God our healer—Exodus 15:26. YHWH-Zidkenu—God our righteousness—Jeremiah 23:6. YHWH-Shammah—God is present—Ezekiel 48:35. YHWH-Mekaddishkem—God who sanctifies—Exodus 31:13. Each of these names provides us with building blocks of knowledge to strengthen and encourage us in the use of faith. John W.
