23rd Psalm continued

Psalm 23:3 He Restores my soul, He leads me in the path of righteousness for His name sakes...

Abbi like to put major en fices on the He Restores my soul.. We told Abbi that this means that we are spiritually tired and He gives that "Spiritual Redbull" He is our energy drink for our spiritual life...

He leads me in paths of righteousness- HE leads us where we should go...Do we always go that way no but that is our own fault and not the Lord's...

For His name sakes-His name is always there it will always stand...

Psalm 23:4 Yea thou 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...

We will all go through scary times in our life, but we have to remember there is no need to fear the evil around us because the Almighty is right there with you...

To Shepard's their rod and staff were important tools...They were probably really only one tool the rod being the slender part of the tool and the staff representing the hook like on the top...They could have been two separate tools (we will never know) The rod was used to help warn off danger, Shepard's in this day encountered many of animals that would want to Harm the sheep so the Shepard would use the rod to scare them off or kill them...
The staff was usually hooked to help herd and lift the sheep out of trouble in a lot of cases...

That is where our little princess is at in these verses...she is doing a tremendous job memorizing them for a 3 yr old we are very proud of her....
