Psalm 23: 1-41 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, [a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
This passage is one that always comes into my mind. It helps when I’m feeling lost, nervous and not very happy. It reminds me that God is always there with me, through everything I do. It describes him as a shepherd and we are his sheep. He will protect us through everything like a shepherd would protect his sheep.
Verse 3 says ‘he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness’ Its saying that God forgives us and will restore us with his love, and that he will show us the right way to follow him. The Psalm also reminds me that we should trust in God because he will guide us in the right direction and will provide us with food and water when we are in great need. We must trust in God and allow him to show us the right way to live and to guide us along the path of righteousness.
Remember, we are only one sheep out of billions, but God will always listen to us. No matter what we have done. As long as we trust in him and allow him to show us the right path to take.
Matt
