Proverbs 2:7-9 – He holds success in store for the upright,
he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless, for he
guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.
Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path.
Hebrews
5:11,14 – We have much to say about
this, but it is hard to make it clear to you because you no longer try to
understand… But solid food is for the mature, who
by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
Psalm 23:2-3 – He makes me lie down in green pastures, he
leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He
guides me along the
right paths for his name’s sake.
Application:
- · Instead of progressing in the Christian life, the readers had become spiritually sluggish and mentally lazy.
- · “Mature” were those who had progressed in spiritual life and had become Christians of sound judgment and discernment.
- · As a shepherd leads his sheep in paths that offer safety and well-being, so David’s Shepherd-King guides him in ways that cause him to be secure and prosperous.
