He maketh me to lie down in green pasters; he leadeth me beside the still waters. Psalm 23:2
If in our minds, we can imagine Jesus as our Shepherd, and then remember the times either past or present, in which there is hardship and not having any peace, it is Jesus that wants to lead us out of that, and into only the peace that only he gives.
Sheep are lead by their shepherd to a place of safety. Where food and water are plentiful. And they depend on their shepherd to get them there.
We can do that by reading his Word, to gain comfort in this not so peaceful world, when we don't know what the next few minutes might bring.
David knew that, when he penned this verse in Psalm. His world was anything but peaceful in natural circumstances. It could only become what he desired as he rested in his Sheperd.
And like David, we too experience tension and more.
But, God wants to lead us to that kind of rest that we too, so desire.
Hello, Friends. As always, thanks for coming by. God bless!
