The Good Shepherd: The Good Shepherd's Path

Text: Psalm 23:3

Everyone on a journey understands the importance of knowing the right paths to choose. Knowing the right path is entirely dependent upon knowing the right source. Without the right source, we can easily get lost and cause significant danger to us and others. The same is true in life. There are many paths in life that we might take. It is easy to base these decisions on our feelings, on the appeal of the culture, on the pressures of others around us, and even on our human logic. However, God’s Word shows us that there is a better way, a better path, that He would have us take. If you would like to discover the Good Shepherd’s path for your life, we encourage you to listen today.
