A Shepherd Who Restores
3 min read · Peace
Psalm 23:1-3
Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Sheep do not make themselves rest. They lie down because the shepherd has already found the green pasture and the quiet water. Many of us are tired because we keep trying to lead ourselves. Today, consider what it would mean to be led. You do not have to know the whole path. You only have to follow the One who does, and let him restore what the week has worn thin.
Today’s prayer
Good Shepherd, lead me to rest. Restore my soul and guide me in your ways. Amen.
