Psalm 23:2 ESV, “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.”
The color green always reminds me of freshness and growth. Knowing that the Lord’s desire is for us to lie down in green pastures, where we can be refreshed and grow, brings joy. He is our Good Shepherd who wants what is best for us. Whether we find ourselves in a season of plenty or lack, He still wants us to come lie down in the green pasture He has prepared for us, and take time to be still in His presence, and find rest for our souls. He wants us to trust Him to give us exactly what we need day by day. Keep trusting in the Lord, and find peace and rest in the green pasture He has prepared for you.
