Be Still . . .
Devotionals for Daily Living ©
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
(Psalm 23:1-2 (ESV))
Do you desire peace?
If you truly hear the voice of the Good Shepherd, and follow His leading, then you are promised peace.
It is a conditional arrangement. The Lord can only give you these things if you trust and follow Him. You have to believe that where He is leading is far better than anything that this world has to offer.
Do you believe this?
Too many people claim that the Lord is their shepherd, yet, they are not at peace. They focus their attention on the things of the world, even when we have the following promise from Jesus.
"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world."
(John 16:33 (NIV))
Are you still focused on the things of this world?
If the things of this world are your priority, then you will receive the things of this world. You will experience sin, death, hatred, envy, greed, and war.
If you focus on the Lord and the things of the Lord, then you will receive grace, life, love, acceptance, abundance and peace. You will experience a calming green pasture. You will experience a peaceful stream. You will experience all of this and more if you simply profess a faith in Jesus and follow His leading!
The choice is yours.
Are you stressed or are you blessed with His peace?
