"He leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley I fear for no evil for you are at my side with your rod and your staff that give me courage."
This Psalm has kept coming up. I've seen it in a book I started to reread- He Leadeth Me, as even the title is from this beloved Psalm. I'm reading a shepherd book titled, 'Your Soul's Gentle Shepherd- why you can have absolute trust in Jesus Christ'. And while reading through Gracelaced for some spiritual reset and inspiration, Psalm 23 came up again in the pages. I couldn't help but think that I need this reminder more than I know. And it was the Psalm reading on Sunday.
Jesus is our shepherd, our guide. How easy it is to lose sight sometimes when we feel like we are 'in control' of our lives or need to figure things out on our own. Jesus is our guide, our Father and shield. We are the sheep he gathers, takes care of and loves till the end.
Beautiful!!
