He makes me lie down in green pastures,
He leads me besides quiet waters,
He restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness,
for His name sake.
Psalm 23: 2-3
Psalm 23 is such a familiar psalm that I think the words get lost in the poetry but take a minute to think about and absorb the words from these verses. How often do we try to accomplish a task only to be constantly delayed or stalled? How often does a break from that task seem to make everything better without changing anything? Is this God making us lie in green pastures and restoring our soul? Why not voluntarily "lie in green pastures?" If we did this God would not have to make us lie down. Think about these words. This passage is familiar but this week I have taken this common, under-thought Psalm to a different level. Try it, you will like what you discover.
