Where does God lead ??? Many a believer is confused about this.

Psalm 23 “1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. 4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.”

1) He leads us to “Green” pastures. Green signifies the finished work of salvation.
2) He leads me to “Still Waters” where the reflection I see is The I Am that is in me! (2 Corinthians 3:18)
3) He leads me to “Restoration” a new creation. (2 Corinthians 5:17)
4) He leads me to “Righteousness” in fact He’s made me Righteous! (2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 5:1,17,19)
5) A bounty of blessing in the midst of the enemy!
6)He leads to a place where “Goodness and Mercy” always follow.

WE WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH BUT GOD DOES NOT LEAD US THERE!

In John 16:33 Jesus tells us;”These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world!”

Troubles and tribulation come in and from this fallen world, with fallen people, and an evil enemy! They do not come from God, nor are we led to them by Him! But be of good cheer, WE WIN! I love you all very much!(NLM)
