"The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, HE RESTORES MY SOUL...."
Just let that verse take effect for a second or two. Put yourself in that place. Green pastures. Beside a quiet little stream. Smell the sweet smell of the spring time grass. Feel the warm sunshine on your face as you lay there. Maybe you're waiting for a few pair left to pair up after a drive to summer pasture. Maybe there us a calf calling for his mama in the distance. Maybe your trusted steed is grazing peacefully nearby. Maybe you put your hat over your face and drift off for a short little cat nap after a very early morning start........
Is there anything more peaceful? Nope, I don't think so. I can't count the number of times in my life that I have lived a scene just like this (except the quiet stream was more than likely a tank and windmill pumping in the breeze) and I just took it for granted. This morning, as I read a devotional with this verse, I was filled with peace. I was in THAT place. And I realized I've had that peace in my life all along. I realized I can lie down in green pastures and be beside the still waters any time.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
