Our souls are
restored when we are guided along right pathways even if it takes a rod and staff to keep us on the path to greener pastures and still waters. That’s because we can get lost in the shadow valleys of this
world where the lines between right and wrong are obscured by selfish desire
and sinful pride. Truth is our sight can adjust to low light and we grow
accustomed to being less than we were meant to be and before you know it we
can’t tell the difference between a green pasture and a desert. But the Lord
like a shepherd does not abandon us to our wandering ways but prods us with the
rod of the Law even as the staff of the Gospel frees us to live into peaceful
places of soul refreshing rest.
