LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES of Peace. – PSALM 23 : 1 – 3, GENESIS 2 : 2 – 3, LUKE 1 : 79

“LIE DOWN IN GREEN PASTURES of Peace. Learn to unwind whenever possible, resting in the Presence of your Shepherd. This electronic age keeps GOD’S children “wired” much of the time, too tense to find GOD in the midst of their moments. GOD built into your very being the need for rest. How twisted the world has become when people feel guilty about meeting this basic need! How much time and energy they waste by being always on the go, rather than taking time to seek The LORD’s direction for their lives. GOD has called you to walk with HIM down paths of Peace. GOD wants you to blaze a trail for others who desire to live in HIS peaceful Presence. The LORD has chosen you less for your strengths than for your weaknesses, which amplify your need for HIM. Depend on GOD more and more, and HE will shower Peace on all your paths.”

Scripture

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. He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. PSALM 23 : 1 – 3

By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. GENESIS 2 : 2 – 3

“ . . . to shine on those living in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the path of peace.” LUKE 1 : 79

Prayer

Prayer: Lord teach me to lie down in green pastures of peace. To rest in your presence, often. To be still and know that you are God. To listen for your direction before taking a step. Quiet my spirit Lord, make your voice louder than any other. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
