I SHALL NOT WANT FOR REST
Psalms 23:2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
There is an old saying that the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. I always answer that I don't want it then because I really don't like mowing what I already have.
In this verse we see a picture of the sheep lying in in a green meadow. They are surrounded by the green grass that is their main source of food. I feel very peaceful when I picture this.
They are beside the peaceful still waters and the shepherd is watching over them with a watchful eye. It kind of reminds me of the children's prayer, "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my should to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take." That kind of gives you the feeling of lying in green pastures beside the still waters doesn't it?
