Psalm 23:2 - He lets me rest
•
Wonder Church
We are studying Psalm 23:2. This verse follows the preceding verse (1) which is the thesis statement for the whole chapter: The Lord is my Shepherd, I have all that I need. Verses 2-4 are premises or reasons why the thesis is true. You could say that verses 2-4 tells us, "what my Shepherd does..." And we learn that he does two things: he leads us to rest and to peaceful streams. The sheep are completely dependent on the Shepherd to provide both of these things. Thus, we learn that rest and provision are the result of God's goodness and grace in our lives, not by works or ambition.
