Psalm 23:3
Old cars have been a favorite in my family. There are a number of family members who love to tinker with some old car and get it running or keep it going. Cars are expensive so I have settled on a cheaper version… restoring old machinery. The other year I tore apart an old saw, cleaned it, greased it and reassembled it. The problem this saw had was at the center of its operation. Two bearings the size of golf balls were worn out. Years of use and perhaps abuse had taken their toll. In verse 3 David continues to picture what God does as his shepherd in restoring him too full operational mode. Not only does God provide physically as noted in the previous verse, God also restores the internal emotions to a position of strength and courage to move in a right direction. God works for His sheep physically (vs 2) and emotionally (vs 3) to bring about what is right or beneficial for His sheep. A shepherd that does not lead sheep to places of growth and health is known as a poor shepherd who has a bad reputation of not caring for his sheep. The LORD cares and provides for His people because of His reputable name. Right now you may be in need of inner strength and future direction. Remember that The LORD restores and guides because of His reputation as the good shepherd (see John 10:10).
