Peaceful Pasture

Where do you go for rest? What makes you stable and satisfied, and enables you to put down your guard, lay down, and be at peace?
David, the Shepherd King, wrote of peaceful pasture in Psalm 23, saying, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.” (Psalm 23:1-3, ESV).
God, the Good Shepherd, leads his sheep—his people, in provision in peaceful pasture. God provides for our needs, protects us, provides security, and gives right direction for our lives.
We can have restorative, restful, and peaceful pasture through God our Good Shepherd.
May we experience the rest and peace God has planned for our lives as we are shepherded by God in peaceful pasture.
A Collect for Sabbath Rest: “Almighty God, who after the creation of the world rested from all your works and sanctified a day of rest for all your creatures: Grant that we, putting away all earthly anxieties, may be duly prepared for the service of your sanctuary, and that our rest here upon earth may be a preparation for the eternal rest promised to your people in heaven; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
