Living the 23rd Psalm, Day 6

PETITIONER - He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

He doesn’t make us go, He doesn’t push us down His Path – He walks ahead and encourages us to follow Him. His Path is paved with Good and Ethic stones, bordered by Sound Judgment and Genuine Love. It’s a road we don’t have to walk, but by following Him, the Way is made clear and our steps will be sure and firm. I will guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. Proverbs 4:11-12

Living the 23rd Psalm, Day 5

PHYSICIAN - He Restoreth My Soul

How does He do that? For me, my soul is reborn each time I see a field of stars or the nearly full moon tipping over a bed of low clouds. The song of a bird floating by or the chimes jingling in His soft breeze. The majesty of a mountain, the lull of the ocean. He is all around me, all the time. When that does not seem to penetrate my darkness, he places people in front of me, Angels on earth, who by their very nature restore my faith in humankind. My family blesses and nurtures my spirit and my soul just by their very being. Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thessalonians 5:22-24
