He guides me in paths of righteousness for His Name sake. Psalm 23:3
In the Exodus, the Lord delivered Israel out of Egypt and guided them on a journey from Egypt through the wilderness to the Promised Land. This path was not a straight highway. It was full of various twists, turns and testing. In a similar way, Jesus is guiding us through the “Great Exodus” from the tyranny of sin to the our eternal inheritance, the New Heavens and New Earth!
Psalm 23 is positioned between two Mountainous Psalms! Psalm 22, a Messianic Psalm regarding the Cross, and Psalm 24, a psalm regarding the enthronement of the Lord in His temple. Between these two “mountains” - Mount Calvary, Psalm 22 and Mount Zion, Psalm 24 is our journey of Psalm 23. We have The Shepherd who guides us from the Cross to the Crown.
The New Heavens and New Earth — our destination. The Shepherd — our guide. He knows the way Home for He is the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one comes to the Father but through Him!
