MY SHEPHERD

Figuratively speaking, I’ve been “lying down in green pastures” while “running the routine” of the day---feeding, diapering, bathing, reading and being the patient for the 3 “grand” doctors. I was able to “rest” in the midst of the daily routine because as Jesus Calling reminded me this morning, I need to unwind whenever possible. Today’s “whenever possible” was early---before the boys
awakened. I was able to rest in the presence of my Shepherd and in His Word in John 17.
This is “WIK.” (what I know) The Lord is the Good Shepherd. He owns the sheep. He Guards the sheep. He never abandons them when danger approaches. He knows the sheep.

We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. (Psalm 100:3) I am His sheep.

Because I belong to Him, I can walk with Him today down the path of peace---even in the midst of chaotic moments. My tomorrow also is secure and tonight I can lie down in peace and be at rest.
