Green Pastures

 

Green Pastures

A sheep has no fear when it grazes in the pasture. It simply enjoys the blessings and the time to feed. It knows that the Shepherd is watching over it and it has nothing to fear. If the food runs out, the Shepherd will take the sheep to another pasture. If a wild animal comes, the Shepherd will chase that animal way. 
In the same way I am the good Shepherd and it is my desire to take you into this season of rest my child. I desire for you to enjoy the good pastures that I have brought you to. I desire for you to rest and to give me all of your cares. So often though, you do not take the time to enjoy the pastures because you worry when the pasture will run out. You worry if a wild animal will come and harm you.
My child put your trust into me. Have I ever let you down? If a natural shepherd would give his life for his flock, how much more will I give everything I have for you? Put your trust into me and enter into my rest. Enter and enjoy the good pastures that I have given to you. Rather experience my peace than worry and fear.
I am not the author of worry. I am not the one who has brought fear into your life. These are things that the enemy would try to do. It is the enemy that wants to steal, kill and destroy. I came to give you life in abundance! So rather trust in me. Trust that I will protect you. Trust that I will take care of each need. As you lean on me now in faith, I will be faithful to cover you and to care for you says the Lord.
