He makes me to lie down in green pastures; (Psalm 23:2)

 “He makes me to lie down in green pastures; he leads me beside the still waters.” (Psalm 23:2)


In its own vivid way, the beautiful image of this verse calls us away from the chaos and crises of our world to a place of calmness and serenity. “Still waters,” however, is not talking about a far-fetched escapism, or an indifferent passivity to our world and a benign neglect of its problems. Instead, it is the stillness of a heaven-sent peace, knowing that the Good Shepherd walks with us through the all of life’s difficulties, protecting and caring for us. As you care for others, do not overlook yourself; be sure to take time to refresh your spirit. May our hearts be filled with this “peace which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7), today and every day.
