He leads me beside quiet waters.
Psalms 23:2 (NIV)
 |
| Colorado River near Moab, Utah |
When Jesus disciples were distressed by so much activity and so many people coming and going he told them "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." (Mark 6:31). Jesus knows about the stresses of life and knows about our need for a quiet place to rest. He calls us aside to rest in him. Even in the midst of activity he leads us along a still, quiet stream. By that quiet stream we rest our minds from anxiety, letting him take control of the worrisome elements of our lives. Our internal being can be at rest and undisturbed because of our confident trust in him. There we find a constant supply of new strength.
Lord, let us be undisturbed no matter what we face today. Your paths are paths of peace. Soothe our troubled souls. Let our minds be at rest, knowing that everything is in your hands and give us wisdom to turn aside to you when the stress is great.
In returning to me and resting in me you shall be saved;
in quietness and in trusting confidence shall be your strength.
Isaiah 30:15 (AMP)
