In the third verse of Psalm 23 we read, “ … he leadeth me
in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.” And in Titus 2:11-12 we
find this: “For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all
men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live
soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.”
The Shepherd cares about the behavior of His sheep. He loves us so much that He leads us in righteous paths, giving us the grace we need to live holy lives for His name’s sake.
