Reflections

Psalm 23:1-4 (NIV) 1 The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, 3 he restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

So God’s intent is to guide us into paths of righteous living. That we may live rightly before God. Further, I believe that these paths are also intended to develop righteousness in our lives. The more we choose to walk in righteous living, it actually develops our convictions for righteousness.

For we see more the benefits, the joy, the peace, the blessings that comes with righteous living. Just like exercising regularly. When we begin to feel the benefits, it encourages us and builds conviction in us about exercise. We need not fear about the nature of the paths God will guide us to. It is always paths of righteousness.
