He lets me rest in green meadows;
He leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
Bringing honor to his name.
When we allow God, our Shepherd, to guide us, we have contentment. When we choose to sin and go our own way, however, we cannot blame God for the environment we create for ourselves. Our Shepherd knows the "green meadows" and "peaceful streams" that will restore us. We will reach these places only by following Him obediently. Rebelling against the Shepherd's leading is actually rebelling against our own best interests. We must remember this the next time we are tempted to go our own way rather than the Shepherd's way.
Lord God, our eternal Shepherd. We are so thankful for Your ways! May You lead us by still waters and restore us, O God. May we choose Your ways above our own. Lead us and guide us we pray this day. In Your Holy Name, Amen..
God bless
