stillwaters

Still waters…so peaceful.  When I imagine a perfect place…it looks a lot like this.  It’s lush and green, and the waters aren’t mighty, rushing, and loud.  They are quiet and still.  I also like to imagine that there are no insects or spiders in the grass to contend with (just saying!!!).  It’s a perfect place.

When life gets stressful or hectic, I like to imagine still waters.   Psalm 23:2 says, “He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul;”  His desire is for us to feel His peace…it was HIS idea.  He knows how hard life can be at times…and He’s saying today, “Are you tired?  Worn out?  Burned out on religion?  Come to Me.  Get away with Me and you’ll recover your life.  I’ll show you how to take a real rest…” (Matthew 11:28)
