“He Leadeth Me”

Evelyn Fordham Goodman

November 11, 2015

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.  He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.

Psalm 23:1-3 (NKJV)

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (NKJV)

• He leadeth me, O blessed thought!
• O words with heav’nly comfort fraught!
• Whate’er I do, where’er I be
• Still ’tis God’s hand that leadeth me.
• 
  
• He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
• By His own hand He leadeth me;
• His faithful foll’wer I would be,
• For by His hand He leadeth me.
• 
  
• Sometimes ’mid scenes of deepest gloom,
• Sometimes where Eden’s bowers bloom,
• By waters still, o’er troubled sea,
• Still ’tis His hand that leadeth me.
• 
  
• He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
• By His own hand He leadeth me;
• His faithful foll’wer I would be,
• For by His hand He leadeth me.

• Lord, I would place my hand in Thine,
• Nor ever murmur nor repine;
• Content, whatever lot I see,
• Since ’tis my God that leadeth me.
• 
  
• He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
• By His own hand He leadeth me;
• His faithful foll’wer I would be,
• For by His hand He leadeth me.
• 
  
• And when my task on earth is done,
• When by Thy grace the vict’ry’s won,
• E’en death’s cold wave I will not flee,
• Since God through Jordan leadeth me.
• 
  
• He leadeth me, He leadeth me,
• By His own hand He leadeth me;
• His faithful foll’wer I would be,
• For by His hand He leadeth me.
• 
  

Joseph H. Gilmore, 1862

PRAYER:

Lord,

No matter what it looks or feels like today, I believe You are leading!  May I not see the events of my life as random thoughtless acts, but the result of careful Divine guidance..  May I rest safely in your arms knowing You are at work.

Amen
