Why do we make unwise decisions? Inexperience. We fail to gain experience or glean wisdom from the experience of others. Indifference. We are apathetic about things that should concern is. We don’t put in the work it takes to decide wisely. Indignation. Anger, passion and other emotions can cloud our ability to discern and decide. What we need is Insight. Only by walking with the wise and leaning on wisdom from above will we be able to make God-honoring decisions.
The Lord is My Shepherd
What does it mean for the Lord to be our Shepherd? According to David in Psalm 23, it means that we shall never be in want of anything. We will be made to slow down, quiet down, and sit down. Our souls will be restored and whole, like they were designed to be from the beginning. We shall not fear evil or death – no matter what we’re facing. Many of us know the Psalm… Let’s make sure we know the Shepherd.
