He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake
Psalm 23:3b
As
I look at Psalm 23 line by line, I see that each line has important meaning and
relevance to me, and, I think to all of us.
God
leads us up the paths of righteousness.
This implies that there are multiple areas of our lives that require
righteousness. Many paths. Our work life, our school life, our home
life, our church life, our personal life.
Each area of our lives is a distinct path, and God wants each path to be
paved with righteousness in our thoughts, and actions, our feelings, and
desires. The great and number one
commandment is to Love, the Lord, our God, with all our hearts, souls, minds,
and strength (Matthew 22:37-40). The
second commandment is like unto the first, it involves love. We are to love our neighbor as ourselves. When our path is guided by the Lord our God,
and our path is full of God's love and righteousness, how can we go astray?
I
will talk more about Psalm 23 tomorrow.
Psa 23:
[[A Psalm of David.]] The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.
He maketh
me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
He restoreth my soul: he leadeth
me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou [art] with me; thy rod
and thy staff they comfort me.
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
Surely
goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in
the house of the LORD for ever.
