The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Psalm 23:1-3
This is a psalm of comfort and peace, a reminder that God is with you at all times, even in your darkest hour. David knew how lost a sheep was without its shepherd. The shepherd took care of every need. The shepherd led his sheep to water and food, and provided time to rest and recoup. This Psalm focuses on the shepherd who protects and provides for his sheep. They follow the one who wants to give them extravagant blessings, unfailing love, and goodness.
God offers us His hand, guiding us in the here and now, and ultimately to eternity with Him. He wants us to have eternal life, eternal blessings, and eternal goodness. He wants us to choose to follow Him daily. He wants us to choose to walk through this life walking near to Him and holding onto His promises. Hold on. Love, Mom
