PRAYING THE NAMES OF GOD:
Week #15: YAHWEH ROEH - THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
Key Scripture’s : Psalm 23:1-3

Understanding the Name:
Shepherding was one of the earliest human occupations. A family’s wealth was measured by how many sheep, goats, cows, horses, camels, and/or asses a man owned.Sbel, Sbraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses and David were all shepherds. Before David fought Goliath, he told Saul: “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it” (1 Samuel 17:34-35)

It was the shepherd’s responsibility to count each animal in order to make sure none had gone astray. At night, sheep were kept in simple enclosures, in caves or within walls made from bushes. At times, the shepherd would sleep with his body lying across the gate to the enclosure in order to keep the sheep safe. Though Israel’s religious leaders were also referred to as shepherds, they were often chided for their failure to watch over the flock of God. Both then and now Yahweh Roeh (yah-WEH row-EE) is the one true Shepherd of his people.
