By Rev. Woodrow W. Hudson,
pastor of Butler Baptist Church
Chapter 3, Psalm 23:3
“He restoreth my soul; he
leadeth me in the paths of
righteousness for his names
sake.”
David is thinking here of
the refreshment that comes
from walking in the green grass
and by the still waters of the
Word of God. There is nothing
that can take the place of being
alone with God in prayer and
Bible study. It is from this
type of fellowship that the true
Christian gets his strength. Isa
iah said it so clearly in Chap
ter 40: 30,31, ‘‘Even the youths
shall faint and be weary, and
the young men shall utterly
fall; but they that wait upon
the LORD shall renew their
strength; they shall mount up
with wings as eagles; they shall
run, and not be weary; and they
shall walk, and not faint.”
Perhaps the writer is think
ing of the backslidden soul
and it being restored to that
original joy. “He restores my
soul.” This word ‘restore’
means literally to renew or
bring back. The shepherd brings
me back after he has re
scued me from forbidden and
fatal places. When you look in
to the eyes of sheep you think
you are looking into glass eyes.
A sheep can see only 10-15
yards. It can recognize hardly
anyone by sight, but it can re
cognize by sound. Jesus said in
“My sheep hear my voice; a
stranger will they not follow
for they know not the voice
of strangers.” We often wander
off and Jesus must come after
us to find us and to restore us
back to our rightful place.
Man is so much like a sheep
for as the sheep has a ten
dency to wander off and get
lost from the shepherd, so does
man wander from God. As Isaiah
said in the 53rd chapter, “All
we like sheep (men) have gone
astray; we have turned every
one to his own way.” Man is
a genius at doing wrong. As
Soloman said, “There is a way
that seemeth right unto man,
but the end thereof are the ways
of death.” Man is foolish to
think he can find his way through
life. The Lord Jesus is the
only One that can lead man
to certain victory.
The Lord is my shepherd I
shall not be missing because
Jesus will come for me.
Perhaps as you read this ar
ticle you are reminded you have
wandered away from God’s pre
sence and fellowship. If this is
true, may I remind you of the
words of our Saviour, Jesus
Christ, when He oaid, “What
man of you, having one hun
dred sheep, if he lose one of
them, doth not leave ninety

and nine in the wilderness, and
go after that which has gone
astray, until he find it.” My
friend, Jesus will not cease
His search until you are found
and restored back to fellow
ship. “O Love that will not
let me go.”
“He leadeth me in the paths
of righteousness.”
In the Hebrew phrase, “He
leadeth me,” means, “to cause
to guide”. Literally, this is
translated, “He causes toguide
me in paths, or roads of right
eousness.” Often times, after
hard rains, the roads would
have deep ruts in them, which
in cold weather would become
hard and thus made it very dif
ficult for sheep to walk down.
The shepherd would never in
tentionally chose this kind of
road and if by chance he was
forced down such a road, then
he was to lead the sheep at
such a pace as not to injury
their feet. “He leadeth me in
smooth road or at such a pace
that I am not injured.
The man, woman or child
who follows His divine lead
ership will always be lead a-
right. No person will go wrong
if he follows Christ. Christ ne
ver leads a soul into ques
tionable places, and no feet
guided by Christ wili ever go
to the wrong place. “God is
light, and in Him is no dark
ness at all. If we say that we
have fellowship with him, and
walk in darkness, we lie, and
do not the truth.” I John 1:
5,6. Sometime God will chose
a road that is not our liking,
yet if we follow it will be for
our best interest.
“For His name’s sake.”
This is a most beautiful
phrase. All that Christ does
is for the honor of His name.
Christs’ own glory is involved
in the care and security of
His children.
The doctor cares for the
sick child, for its sake and the
parents but for his own names’
sake also. The airplane pilot
flies the plane safely to the
airport for the passengers sake,
but also for his own name sake.
Jesus, said, “Father, I will
that they also, whom thou hast
given me, be with me where
I am, that they may behold my
glory.” Jesus also said, “And
of all that thou hast given me,
I have lost none.” I ask you,
are you living in such a manner
that honor and glory are brought
upon the name of Jesus? If
not, why? Christ will restore
you to your rightful place if
you will repent and follow Him.
