Letting God Lead

Reflection: Letting God Lead

There’s something comforting about being guided by someone who knows the way. Imagine a hiker lost in an unfamiliar forest. The paths look similar, and every direction seems right—until a seasoned guide appears. The guide doesn’t just point the way; he walks with the hiker step by step, leading him safely home.

That’s exactly what God does for us. As our Shepherd, He doesn’t simply give us directions and leave us to figure life out—He leads us personally. David understood this deeply when he wrote Psalm 23. God’s leadership wasn’t about control; it was about care. He led David to rest when he was weary, to peace when he was troubled, and to righteousness when he was uncertain.

When we let God lead, we surrender the need to control every outcome. His ways may not always make sense to us, but they always lead to restoration and purpose.
