He
cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree. When Moses threw it into
the water, the water became safe to drink. There the Lord made for them a
binding ordinance, and there he tested them. Exodus 15:25 NET
Memory Scripture of the Week – Psalm 23
The
LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need.
He
lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He
renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to his name.
Even
when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close
beside me.
Your
rod and your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the
presence of my enemies.
You
honor me by anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely
your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I
will live in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:1-6
He
lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.

| Safe Streams do exist in Israel. Provided by our loving Shepherd. Lead me there, Lord. Let me rest in Your green meadows. |
Safe water.
There are wadis—valleys or canyons in Israel which are dry except when there is
rain. It doesn’t rain much there, but it
is dangerous when those valleys fill up with swift moving water. Then that
shepherd needs to be nearby to keep the sheep out of those rushing streams. He leads me besides peaceful streams. Safe
water—pure water. God provided the Hebrew people with pure water—safe to drink.
Good water creates green grass—and there are patches of green grass across the
Israeli hills that shepherds still lead their sheep to green pastures where
they can eat, be satisfied and then rest. Rest in Your Father’s arms. He’s
there for you. Green meadows—food to eat. Peaceful streams—tasty, pure water
for refreshment. He provides. Enjoy!
Prayer ~ Lord God, thank you for
letting me rest in the green meadows—and providing pure, clean peaceful water. You’ve
provided all I need. Now I humbly stand before You with my heart cleansed by the
blood of Jesus, knowing that the sacrifice that He made is beyond my
comprehension. I worship and adore You...Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for Your
love is pure. You are holy.
