Grace for you today !
Behold Jesus the Shepherd & experience His righteousness!
“He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.” Psalms 23:3 NKJV
This is an amazing work of the Shepherd! The normal tendency of the sheep is to go astray. Backsliding is a process and never all of a sudden. Drifting away from the truth is a subtle process and happens step by step without even the person realising.
When the rocket is blasted off into the space, we learn that every 8th second there is a course correction done , as it doesn’t follow the right path toward the target. Without this course correction, the space shuttle will never reach its destination ( desired target).
This is even true with all those who have put their trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. But, Jesus being our true and Good Shepherd leads us in the right path or in the path of righteousness not because we deserve it but for His name sake.
The word “Restores” in the verse – ‘He restores our soul’ means “turn back or return”. Our soul is tempted and we drift away because of the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of the riches. Jesus our Good Shepherd intervenes our lives and directs our ways in the path of His righteousness for His namesake.
Yes, my beloved, the Lord Jesus Christ is our T’sidkenu , our righteousness. Lets keep confessing, “Jesus is my T’sidkenu, my Righteousness, therefore I shall neither go astray nor be ashamed”. Surely, your Good Shepherd the Lord Jesus will guide you towards your God -desired-destiny. You will be in the right place at the right time in the rightful way in Jesus Name! Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus !
