Trusting in God the Good Shepherd

Written By Lettie Henley

“But he brought his people out like a flock; he led them like sheep through the wilderness." - Psalm 78:52

This psalm reflects God's gentle yet powerful leadership over His people. Even amidst the challenges of the wilderness; uncertainty, danger, and difficulty, God shepherds His people with care and guidance, like a shepherd leading sheep.

It reminds us that no matter how tough our circumstances may be, God’s desire is to lead us out of darkness into His light. He is a faithful shepherd who knows His flock intimately, guiding us with patience, love, and wisdom. We can trust in His power to bring us from places of struggle into periods of blessing and rest.

Reflection:

God has led you in the past and trust Him to lead you forward. If you’re facing a wilderness season, whether in health, relationships, or faith, remember that God, your Shepherd, is with you. Follow His guidance, and trust that He will bring you safely through.

Prayer:

Heavenly Shepherd, thank You for leading me with love and care. Even in the wilderness, I trust in Your power to guide me and bring me into green pastures. Help me to follow Your voice, to depend on Your strength, and to rest in Your faithful leadership. Thank You for being a shepherd who never leaves His sheep. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
