For His Name's Sake He Guides Us

Readings:
Psalm 23
Galatians 6:1-10

Focus:
Psalm 23:3b: "For his name's sake he guides me in the right paths."

Sometimes we might wonder if God will lead us. Perhaps things are particularly in a shambles in our lives. Maybe things just aren't going right. Or maybe we've been messing up pretty badly and we're not sure whether or not God can straighten us out. We might wonder whether or not God cares enough about us to do that.

But not only does God care enough about us to do that--he also does it for his own sake. And since he is perfect, there is no reason that he would want to let himself down. So it is guaranteed that he will want to guide us! We can depend on him to help us for his sake, even if we aren't sure of ourselves.

For his name's sake, he will guide us in the right paths.
