Why do I still feel disappointed if the Lord is my Shepherd?

In this message, Pastor Clayton Bell begins a new series through Psalm 23 by drilling into just one verse: “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.” (Psalm 23:1)

We all live with an undercurrent of disappointment, always wanting, needing, or feeling like we deserve more. But what if the problem isn’t what’s “on top,” but the foundation beneath it? What if the real issue is who (or what) is shepherding your life?

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

- Why our deepest disappointments reveal our belief foundation

- The difference between knowing about God and knowing Him personally

- What it really means to submit to Jesus as Shepherd

- Why “I won’t lack” is a better translation than “I shall not want”

- How God’s presence provides what no one else can

Key Scriptures:

- Psalm 23:1 — “The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need.”

- Matthew 11:28 — “Come to Me… and I will give you rest.”

- John 10:11 — “I am the good shepherd.”

- Psalm 49:14 — “Like sheep, they are led to the grave, where death will be their shepherd.”
