Under His Care

Under His Care…

As this day begins, let’s welcome it with hearts open to the gentle guidance of our Shepherd. He promises us rest, renewal, and a path filled with His purpose.

He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters.
Psalm 23:2

Green pastures and quiet waters. In a world that demands constant motion, these words from Psalm 23 offer a breath of fresh air. They promise what weary souls crave – a chance to truly rest.

But this isn’t just about a leisurely afternoon. It’s about a deep, soul-level restoration that can only be found in the presence of our Shepherd. David, who penned these words, knew the heart of a shepherd – sheep need safety, comfort, and trust before they’ll rest.

It’s no different for us. To experience true rest, we need to trust our Shepherd, believing He knows what’s best and will lead us to the places we need. Sometimes, this means letting go of our own plans and agendas, following Him even when the path seems uncertain.

The beautiful promise is this: His paths always lead to abundance. Green pastures and quiet waters aren’t just a brief respite – they’re the very things our souls need to thrive.

So today, amidst the whirlwind of life, know that your Shepherd invites you to rest. Surrender to His care. Trust His leading. And may you discover the refreshment and renewal that pave the way for all that lies ahead.

The 23 Psalm is one of my favorite chapters in the Bible. You all should read it and let it envelope you into it.

Dear Lord, My soul longs for some quiet time with You. Help me find moments of stillness and surrender my worries at Your feet. Guide me to those peaceful places where my spirit can rest. Deep down, I trust in Your perfect plan for me, even when the path seems uncertain. Lead me to that place of rest and renewal, where I can truly recharge. Thank you for being my Shepherd and for always knowing what’s best for me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,

Ed 🙏🏼
