Last month, we focused on how our Good Shepherd makes us lie down in green pastures . During COVID-19’s stay-at-home orders, that brought special significance.
Now, we move to the second half of Psalm 23:2, where Jesus Christ [the Good Shepherd] “leads me beside quiet waters.” It should be noted that sheep have no swimming capabilities, so a fall into the water is a death sentence unless they’re rescued. Hence the need for still waters.
Fortunately, our Good Shepherd knows where the still, quiet, deep, clean, pure water is to be found that can satisfy His sheep and keep them fit.
