Psalm 23
The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
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 will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
for ever.

One Verse At A Time
Today - Psalm 23:3b
He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake
Life is full of daily choices and decisions. Without a shepherd, sheep can wander aimlessly and get lost. In life, if we don't have guidance we can end up getting lost as well. God who created us and knows us better than ourselves is offering to be our guide. Guides often don't just point you in the right direction, they take you there. Just like a supermarket assistant, when you don't know where to find a specific item the good assistants will take you to the exact shelf where the product you are looking for is. Jesus as the guide walks with us and leads us to where we are meant to be.
Jesus doesn't just take us to where we want to go, he leads us along the right path. Matthew 7:13-14 talks about two roads, the broad road and the narrow road. The broad road that many enter, leads to destruction but the narrow road that is harder to find leads to life. This is why we need Jesus to help us in our decision making.
Worship
Let the words of this song wash over you – experience again God’s provision, God’s leading, God’s protection, God’s presence, God’s salvation.
