You’re not resting because you’re hungry, hunted, anxious, or afraid — and you can’t fix any of those on your own.
In part two of our series through Psalm 23, we slow down on a single line: “He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters.” Drawing from Philip Keller’s A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, we look at the four things a sheep needs before it will lie down — food, freedom from foes, freedom from flies, and freedom from fear — and how each one points us straight to Christ.
We’ll talk about why sheep can’t find pasture on their own, why Jesus called Himself “the door of the sheep” in John 10, and what the nose botfly has to do with the anxieties you didn’t ask for and can’t shake. We’ll see how Hebrews 2:14–15 promises freedom from the fear of death, and why rest isn’t something you achieve — it’s somewhere the Shepherd leads you.
On the cross, Jesus entered our unrest so we could enter His rest. If you’re tired, this one’s for you.
