When Scripture says Jesus “leads us in paths of righteousness” (Psalm 23:3), it isn’t just poetry - it's a pattern.
In the ancient world, a shepherd walked ahead of the flock, not behind it. The sheep followed his voice, step by step, trusting the path even when it wound through steep cliffs or thick fog.
The safety wasn’t in the terrain…it was in the One leading. The same is true for you today.
Spiritual growth doesn’t come from knowing the whole route - it comes from taking the next faithful step. In Hebrew, the word for “path” often describes a narrow, carved-out trail. It implies precision, guidance, and intentionality.
God doesn’t ask you to navigate life alone - He promises to go first, to steady your footing, and to draw you forward with His voice.
If Jesus is reaching for your hand, it means the path ahead isn’t meant to be walked in your strength but in His.
