7 Powerful Bible Names of God with Meaning

JEHOVAH ROHI – The Lord is my Shepherd

If you are not saved, then the Lord is not your Shepherd. Jesus knows whose sheep are His own and He knows them by name and they know His voice (John 10:3-4). If you are not of His flock, then He is not your Shepherd. This is the name given by David when he wrote the 23rd Psalm. If the Lord is your Shepherd [JEHOVAH ROHI], then He will make you to lie down in green pastures and not brown patches. His rod (for protection) and His staff (for keeping the sheep in the flock) will comfort you. If JEHOVAH ROHI is your Shepherd, then He will lead you to still (calm) waters and you can drink from the living water and you will never thirst again (John 7:37-39). If He is your Shepherd then He will take you through the valleys of the shadow of darkness. If there are shadows that means at least there is light somewhere near. Your Shepherd won’t take you out of the valleys, He won’t keep you from the valleys or He won’t make you pass around the valleys but He will take you through the valleys and not leave you there. That is what the 23rd Psalm says. He won’t keep us out of the valleys but He will take us through them and go with us through them in the path of His righteousness (2 Cor 5:21) and goodness and mercy will follow us as we walk in this path and this path will eventually bring us into the house of the Lord and there shall we dwell with Him forever and ever. That is if he is your JEHOVAH ROHI or your Shepherd.
