About this Bible story

Psalm 23:1 reminds us, 'The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.' This comforting verse assures us of God's care. In this lesson, we teach kids about the Good Shepherd and how He provides for us.

β€œThe Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.”

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While the kids color, ask them, 'What does it mean to have God as our shepherd?' Highlight how the shepherd in the story leads his sheep to safety, which relates directly to Psalm 23:1. Have extra crayons available, and consider a follow-up activity where they can share their pictures with the class.
