Have you ever worried that following God might take you somewhere you don’t want to go, or that you wouldn’t be able to keep up if you tried?
In Psalm 23:3b, David writes, “He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” The Hebrew word nachah means to guide, to govern, to lead forth. It’s not just about pointing out the path. It’s about walking with us, rerouting us when we wander, and strengthening us to keep moving forward.
Here’s what you’ll hear in this week’s episode:
- What synonyms and antonyms of “guide” reveal about God’s trustworthy leadership
- How translations like The Passion Translation and The Voice paint vivid pictures of God steering us off worn, hard paths and into places of life and beauty
- Insights from commentaries, including the reminder that obedience isn’t about knowing every option, it’s about staying close to the Shepherd
- Tony Evans’ GPS comparison and what it means for God to lovingly reroute us
- The characteristics of God revealed in this verse: Guide, Righteous, Strong Tower
- Angie’s story of preparing for a young woman’s funeral and how God miraculously guided her, not because she figured it out, but because He was faithful
