What is our job as followers of Yeshua? To rest in His protective sheepfold. To abide in the shelter under His wing . It’s not about striving or working we must live out of a place of rest.
This is a huge struggle for us in this world of deadlines expectations and busyness. Accomplishments and schedules are such a cruel task master, pulling on our psyche constantly.
What’s the first thing Papa does in Ps 23? He makes me lie down in green pastures. What do sheep do? The rest in the assurance that the shepherd is watching over them and they are safe fro all danger. How do we know where to go or what to do? His still small voice and guiding hand show us the way.
Striving and stressing over the future is never His plan for us in fact it is seen as disobedience! For how much does our worry bring about positive resolutions? Isn’t worry actually worship (dwelling on and rehearsing) of the potential bad things which may happen? No we are not to worry about anything because our Father is watching over us and providing for us just like the birds of the field.
“Peace, be still”, are frequent words of Jesus and many angels to startled or scared men in the Word.
Peace, be at rest.
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.”
