Psalm 23
“The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.”

I love this passage because it brings nature to life & awareness to the physical manifestation of God’s glory as well as the potential rest we can receive in & through him.
I just want to publicly Thank God for leading me beside still waters and green pastures.
It’s been a journey discerning the difference between just pastures & GREEN pastures. Know that God can only reign over living things (mark 4), so maybe you not seeing God’s hand in your life is due to the fact that your pastures are in fact dead, not green. Maybe they’re dead because they were self planted, self cultivated, God had no hand in the growth and development of the pasture therefore it can never be as green as what God has prepared. I urge you to seek God for the green pastures that is your rest.
