Jesus Will Lead You, Producing Existence

Opening Verse

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” – Psalm 23:1

Introduction

In a world filled with uncertainty and chaos, the assurance of being led by Jesus brings profound peace and security. This devotional explores how Jesus, as our shepherd, leads us to a life filled with purpose and existence.

Devotional Story

Imagine a group of travelers lost in a vast desert with no sense of direction. Their supplies are dwindling, and hope is fading. Suddenly, among them steps forward a guide who knows the terrain perfectly. With confidence and authority, this guide takes the lead, promising to bring them to a place of safety and abundance. This guide is like Jesus in our lives. When we feel lost and uncertain, He steps in to lead us to green pastures and still waters, where our souls can be restored and our existence can flourish.

What This Means

Jesus leading us means that we are never truly lost or forsaken. He guides our steps and decisions, providing spiritually for us so that we may not just survive, but truly live. His leadership brings us into existence—life as it was meant to be lived, full of hope, purpose, and peace.

Think About This

How often do we try to navigate life on our own, relying on our limited understanding? Reflect on the times Jesus has led you through difficult situations, and how His guidance differed from when you were walking alone.

Prayer

Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for being our shepherd and guide. Help us to follow You more faithfully, trusting in Your lead, knowing that You bring us into fullness of life. Teach us to rely not on our own understanding but on Your perfect guidance. Amen.

Closing Verse

 “And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.” – Psalm 107:7
