“He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.”
Psalm 23:3 KJV
David wrote this psalm, a favourite with many, when he was a young shepherd serving his father, Jesse, while he was keeping watch over sheep near Bethlehem. “That’s where He restores and revives my life. He opens before me the right path and leads me along in His footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to His name.” So often life drains out of us through our many activities, but David found that God restores our well-being by pursuing what pleases God and resting in Him. It is a common trait for sheep on the hillsides of Israel to circle their way up higher. They eventually form a path that keeps leading them higher. David refers to this, that each step we take following our Shepherd leads us higher, even though it seems we are going in circles! Let’s choose to follow our Great Shepherd. Amen!
