Psalm 23:1-3
New International Version (NIV)
23
The Lord is my shepherd;
I shall not be in want.
I shall not be in want.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake
When we allow God our Shepherd to guide us, we have contentment. When we choose to sin, we go our own way and cannot blame God for the environment we create for ourselves. Our shepherd knows the "green pastures" and "quiet waters" 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.
