June 12: Your Shepherd Leads You

Scripture:
“He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.”
— Psalm 23:2–3 (NKJV)

5 Points:

  1. God leads us to places of peace and refreshment.
  2. Restoration is His work, not our striving.
  3. Righteous paths are shaped by His grace and for His glory.
  4. God’s leadership is gentle but firm.
  5. His name guarantees the goodness of His way.

Poem: Still Waters and Right Paths

The waters wait, calm and sure.
The grass whispers of peace.
You lead me where my soul can breathe.
You build rest into broken places.
You call the tired heart home.

You find me when my strength fails.
You gather the pieces I dropped.
You pour hope into the cracks.
You speak life over my silence.
You stitch my heart with your mercy.

Your hand points to the rising road.
A path stitched with light and truth.
You do not lead for my name’s fame.
You lead for your honor and joy.
Your way is a song of goodness.

I follow though the world shouts.
I listen though the night groans.
Your footsteps beat louder than fear.
Your rod and staff press courage in.
Your path pulls me to your heart.

Today I walk slower, not alone.
Today I trust your pace, not mine.
You write peace into my pace.
You restore what I had forgotten.
You lead because you love.
