What's on My Heart Today
Beside Still Waters
"He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters, He refreshes my soul." Psalm 23:2-3.
Beside Still Waters...Water. Such a precious infinite resource. An assured calming and serene source of peace. Is it any wonder that King David, a man of war, penned these beautiful words? Today, this time-honored solution gives us comfort when we are unsettled. It calls us to "stillness." I visit this Scripture often. I imagine myself in green pastures, beside still waters and I sense Jesus sweet presence. This always quiets my troubled spirit. Another thing to notice is the fact that we need water, "the spring of living water." God is referred to as Living water, the source of life. This speaks life into our weary Spirit. In this hectic, busy, noisy world we live in we so often have need to go to the source that will gently quiet and calm our troubled spirit. This calming assurance removes stress and the troubling effects it can have on us. I encourage you to journey with me to this beautiful place of rest. Go often and be refreshed and encouraged by His calming presence. He longs to meet you there. Let the spirit of this comforting Psalm be your Living Bread for today.
"He will tend His flock like a Sheperd; He will gather the lambs in His arms; He will carry them in His bosom and gently lead them..." Isaiah 40:11.
Sweetest Blessings,
Jo
