One of the many aspects that I love about doing an in-depth bible study is how it takes me off onto paths that encourage me and make me dig even deeper into God’s word and fall more in love with it and Him through the process.
While I’m in the midst of Jennifer Rothschild’s study on Psalm 23, she had us find other scripture passages with the word path, and notice the different ways God causes us to be guided. Each part of Scripture that either Jennifer provided or that I searched up was enlightening.
When I found Hosea 14:9 I had to go back and read all nine verses of the chapter to get the whole perspective.
Verse nine reads:
Let those who are wise understand these things. Let those with discernment listen carefully. The paths of the Lord are true and right, and righteous people live by walking in them. But in those paths sinners stumble and fall. NLT
Please watch this short video to hear what “things” are, and be encouraged that God is the god of forgiveness, and that He wants you grow and blossom in Him.
Christ carried our sins in His body on the cross. He did this so that we would stop living for sin and live for what is right. By his wounds you were healed. You were like sheep that went the wrong way. But now you have come back to the Shepherd and Protector of your lives. 1 Peter 2:24-25 ERV
Friends, I pray that you will strive to start living for what is right and stop living for sin and self. Allow God to guide you down the right path. The BEST path for your life. If you’ve gone astray, come back to The Good Shepherd and Protector of your life.
Blessings to you and yours,
Stephanie
