Psalm 23Sample

Restored and Guided (Psalm 23:3)

Think about how a reset button feels on your devices. When the system is frozen, one press restores order. Life often leaves us frozen, too; disappointments, failures, or sin weigh us down until we’re stuck.

God doesn’t just patch us up; He renews hope, courage, and identity. Restoration is deeply personal.

But He doesn’t stop there. He points us forward, guiding us in righteousness. This isn’t about self-righteousness; it’s about living in a way that reflects His character. And here’s the best part: it’s “for His name’s sake.” God’s faithfulness to guide us isn’t fragile; it’s tied to His own unchanging reputation.

When you feel broken, don’t despair. The Shepherd restores and directs because His name is faithful.

Respond to God’s Word:
Take a few minutes today to journal about one area where you need restoration. Ask Jesus to heal that place and guide your next step so your life reflects His name.
