Sometimes life feels uncertain and confusing, and it’s hard to know which way to turn. God offers guidance and direction when we trust him. Think of the image of a shepherd: a shepherd knows each sheep by name, feeds them, protects them, and leads them. The sheep simply follow.
When David called God his shepherd, he was saying, “I trust you to lead me.” That’s exactly what Jesus offers us today. He promises to guide us through joy, sorrow, and even the ordinary moments of life.
The key is knowing his voice. And the only way to do that is to spend time with him. Read his words and talk to him in prayer. These things train your heart to recognize when he’s speaking.
Pray: Jesus, you are my shepherd. Help me recognize your voice. Lead me where you want me to go. I trust that you know the way better than I do. Amen.
