Psalm 23:2-3 New International Version (NIV)
2 He makes me lie down in green
pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
Some of us won't slow down for anything! Well, almost
anything. When we get "too full of ourselves" and too caught up in
our own plans, the LORD, our Shepherd, slows us down and makes us lie down. Our
Shepherd knows we need rest, nourishment, and refreshment and helps us, yes and
even sometimes makes us, find "green pastures" and "still
waters." He then leads us in the direction of his righteousness and
holiness once we are rested and refreshed. Isn't it interesting that God's
order for our life is always grace and then glory.
Thought for today:
Can I be led? Can I take instruction?
