He maketh me to lie
down in green pastures...
Psalm 23:2a
This is not the first time I got up on a Sunday morning expecting to do my usual routine, only to find myself with a mysterious ailment...
down in green pastures...
Psalm 23:2a
This is not the first time I got up on a Sunday morning expecting to do my usual routine, only to find myself with a mysterious ailment...
Everything was fine when I went to bed last night. But now I'm in excruciating pain. I can barely walk, and I must lean against a wall or another solid object in order to get around. Somehow I managed to injure my left ankle, and I don't know how.
Every Sunday, I usually awaken early in order to pray and read the Bible. I do this to prepare my heart and mind for church. But this morning I knew I wasn't going any place but back to bed.
Yet there must be a reason for God to have allowed this. And I believe the answer is for me to sit still. The Lord knows I need a rest. I'm a chronic workaholic, and I'm often guilty of taking on too many jobs and projects. So the Good Shepherd of the 23rd Psalm did what He had to. He stopped me in my tracks. He's done it before. Now the Lord has done it again.
It's time for my body to rest.
