HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN / PSALMS 23:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Psalms 23:2

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

HE MAKES ME LIE DOWN / PSALMS 23:2

Because of the presence and nearness of the Shepherd, God’s sheep (His people) can “lie down” in peace and be free from all fear. Jesus, as the Son of God, came to bring this same promise to those who would follow Him. The Holy Spirit as the Comforter, Counselor and Helper communicates Christ’s care and presence to each believer (John 14:16-18; 2 Timothy 1:7).

  1. Confidence and peaceful rest will be “in green pastures,” (a figure of speech for what makes a person grow and thrive in life). True growth and life come from a personal relationship with Jesus and the Word of God, which are necessary for a truly fulfilling life (John 6:32-35, 63; 8:31; 10:9; 15:7).
  2. “He leads … beside quiet waters,” which represent the peace, life and refreshment of the Holy Spirit (Psalms 1:3; Jeremiah 2:13; John 7:37-39).
