Psalm 23
3b HE LEADETH ME IN THE PATHS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE.
Leadeth- Strong's definition - "to drive forth..."
Yes, You are "driving me forth" - bringing me to a place, by Your grace, where I can lie down without fear into Your wonderful arms of love! A reaction to a medicine has made me so sleepy today that nothing else matters - SLEEP, sleep, sleep, SLEEP...sleep in Jesus...If I die and "sleep in Jesus", that's OK. Just please give me rest, Lord. Your promise to me is Ex. 33:14-
"My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee REST." In paths of RIGHTEOUSNESS - this is where I long to be - in paths of RIGHTEOUSNESS where I might have LOVE, JOY, PEACE, LONGSUFFERING, GENTLENESS, GOODNESS, FAITH, MEEKNESS, TEMPERANCE in all the dealings with my dear husband and children. Someday I shall really be in Your arms of love forever! Then I shall have no sin...no fear...no fatigue...no pain or sickness! Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly! Maranatha!
"...So didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name!" (Is 63:14) Yes, make thyself a glorious name, Lord! It is for YOUR GLORY and YOUR NAME that You are leading me in paths of righteousness. Hallelujah for the PROMISE that I shall someday be really HOLY! You WILL make it happen - for Your name and glory is at stake!
