Amy's Place ... Poetry and Potpourri ... January, February, 2014

With all the blessings surrounding us are we thankful, seeking to please God underpinning all we do?

We often get caught up in the affairs of today and are influenced by our medias, and political correctness. God forgive us. Let us keep our heart focused on Thee and doing as Thy Word instructs Thy People. Praise the LORD!

We love Thee Father, forgive our sins, in Jesus name, amen.

“Lie Down”
February 25, 2014

Read: Exodus 20:8-11

He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul. —Psalm 23:2-3

Bible in a Year:
Numbers 12-14; Mark 5:21-43

Our golden retriever can get so overly excited that he will go into a seizure. To prevent that from happening, we try to calm him. We stroke him, speak to him in a soothing voice, and tell him to lie down. But when he hears “lie down,” he avoids eye contact with us and starts complaining. Finally, with a dramatic sigh of resignation, he gives in and plops to the floor.

Sometimes we too need to be reminded to lie down. In Psalm 23, we learn that our Good Shepherd makes us “lie down in green pastures” and leads us “beside the still waters.” He knows that we need the calm and rest that these provide, even when we don’t realize it ourselves.

Our bodies are designed to have regular rest. God Himself rested on the seventh day after His work of creation (Gen. 2:2-3; Ex. 20:9-11). Jesus knew there was a time to minister to the crowds and a time to rest. He instructed His disciples to “come aside . . . and rest a while” (Mark 6:31). When we rest, we refocus and are refreshed. When we are filling every hour with activity—even with worthwhile things—God often gets our attention by making us “lie down.”

Rest is a gift—a good gift from our Creator who knows exactly what we need. Praise Him that He sometimes makes us “lie down in green pastures.”

Heavenly Father, thank You for Your
care for our well-being in every area
of our lives. Help us to be rested
and refreshed in You.

If we don’t come apart and rest awhile, we may just plain come apart! —Havner
