Scripture: Psalm 23
“The Lord is my shepherd.”
The shepherd leads, restores, accompanies.
Even in valleys.
Psalm 23 is not sentimental poetry. It is defiant trust. Valleys exist. Enemies exist. Yet the table is set. The cup overflows.
A church that dreams of being better at following in the way of Christ is
shepherded, not self-directed. It
listens for guidance rather than manufacturing vision from anxiety.
Where are you walking through shadow? Illness? Fatigue? Discouragement? Institutional uncertainty?
The Shepherd does not eliminate valleys. The Shepherd walks through them with us.
Lent reminds us that accompaniment is holy. We are called not to fix every valley, but to
walk beside one another within them.
Surely goodness and mercy follow—not occasionally, but all the days.
Reflection Questions
- Where do I need shepherding?
- Who might need my steady
presence?
- Can I trust goodness in uncertain
terrain?
