HE LEADS YOU IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS
“He refreshes and restores my soul (life); He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.”
Psalm 23:3 (Amplified)
Most saints are conscious of their self-efforts than the supply of the Lord.
Psalm 23, focuses on the supply and nourishment of the GOOD SHEPHERD. It reveals to us how we have to enjoy the tender care of the Shepherd.
Your work is to have the consciousness and confidence that the LORD IS YOUR SHEPHERD.
Whatever the LORD supplies as the GOOD SHEPHERD is an expression of His Person.
Anything the Lord gives you is of Himself. Which means the LORD doesn’t go round looking for green pastures. Neither does He search for still waters. When you come to Him and receive Him as your SHEPHERD, He becomes to you all that you need to be nourished and preserved as a SHEEP.
When you see the LORD as your Shepherd, you have MORE THAN ENOUGH; because the LORD is YOUR SUPER IMMEASURABLE, LIMITLESS, ABUNDANCE of SUPPLY.
Read the verses in Psalm 23, with this MINDSET.
So now what comes to mind when you think of the verse 3:
“…He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”
This leading of the Lord is not an external work, but an inward organic work of His life.
“…and leads me along in his footsteps of righteousness so that I can bring honor to his name.” Psalm 23:3b (TPT)
The LORD Jesus, who is our GOOD SHEPHERD is also our Life (Colossians 3:4).
Which means He doesn’t lead us by giving us external instructions or rules to obey. He leads us through our organic living.
And by this leading we don’t try to create out own paths. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life (John 14:6).
We don’t look for our own righteousness. All the paths of righteousness are embodied in Him. He is our righteousness.
Now since we have Him as our life, our living is unto His glory.
What really brings glory and honor to God is the Lord’s grace, not our own works of righteousness.
Your own (self) righteous steps will not be unto the glory of the Lord. Your righteous steps are only in the footsteps of the Lord. The right standing of the Lord Jesus, is your right standing. Your right living is by the supply of the Lord’s grace within you.
This means you don’t have to struggle to love right. You don’t struggle to walk in righteousness. He is your righteousness, (He has made you righteous) and supplies you with the inward organic ability for you to walk or live right.
Again let me ask you, is the LORD YOUR SHEPHERD?
SELAH.

– The LORD is my Shepherd therefore I have no consciousness of need.
– The LORD Jesus is my Life and nourishment.

Oh Hallelujah! Gloreeeey!
