David wrote that when the Lord is our Shepherd, He provides all we need, and we can "lie down in green pastures ... beside still waters" (Psalm 23:1-2). To lie down, sheep must be free of fear, tension, aggravations, and hunger. Just like humans, sheep can develop foolish rivalries among themselves and disturb each other in a flock, but when the shepherd appears, they forget these silly comparisons and turn their attention to him. Similarly, we can turn to God and find contentment even amid the tensions in our jobs, families, and communities.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
