He restores my soul, He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake. Psalm 23:3
We are a dependent humanity living in a hostile world. God jealously guards us, His supreme creation, from evil, and governs our moral behavior, making us righteous.
Psalm 23 is a song of trust. David wrote this Psalm while still a shepherd boy on the plains of Judea where hundreds of years later, a host of angels announced the coming of another child that would become a King, a Shepherd, the Prince of PEACE.
Each fall, millions of birds, among hundreds of species, take to the sky and make their way to warmer climates so they may live. Why? Because God made it so. He takes wonderful care of them. Only God can restore what the weariness of this world has stolen. It is not in God’s character to leave His children lost and struggling. He does not and He will not. Because we are His, He will take us where we are safe, secure and sustained and Holy.
Love,
