Ps 23:2 He MAKES ME lie down....
None of us like being MADE to do anything... part of the very fabric of our being is to go our own way, at a time of our own choosing. Any interference with that agenda causes something inside to question and recoil against it. Right now we are being MADE by our government to stay at home. It's not easy and sometimes seems a bit too draconian.
Yet there is a good reason for it: to save lives etc. This amazing Psalm speaks of being MADE to lie down by the Lord, our Good Shepherd. There are times in our lives that our Loving Heavenly Father MAKES us lie down, come to a full stop. Be assured that, although it may look barren, He promises green pastures, rest and restoration of our souls. How often in the helter skelter of life our emotions and spirits get worn to a frazzle! Let's stop and find the restoration we need in the green pastures that our Lord provides in His Word. Jesus says: Matthew 11:28 AMPC Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy-laden and overburdened, and I will cause you to rest. (I will ease and relieve and refresh your souls.) Let's pray for those laying down, so poorly with this virus, that they would, by some miracle, meet with Jesus too. For the doctors, nurses and carers who are overwhelmed at this time to encounter our Lord Jesus who can lighten their load. Selah ️
