Focus on God’s Goodness-Guiding Hand

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in Psalm 23, verse 3.

With the LORD as my Shepherd, “He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.”

As our soul is refreshed in the Presence of the LORD, our pathway is directed by the counsel of the LORD. The closer we move toward Jesus, the greater our clarity for understanding the way forward. His Word is a lamp to guide our way through climates of spiritual darkness. He shows us the way to go in His will. His grace not only saves us from sin, but is also a virtuous teacher in the ways of God. His kindness leads us to repentance.

Titus 2:11 and 12 says, “For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.”

The guiding hand of God reveals the goodness of God and is a reason to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
