Centering Down in Jesus

Read Psalm 23:1-2

 

1. FOR REST

• Who is the Shepherd in Psalm 23:1?  See John 10:11, 14.
• What do you think the green pastures represent in v.2?  Compare John 21:17 with John 6:35, 63.
• What is implied by “lying down” in the green pastures?  How can the Shepherd make you lie down in them?

 

1. FOR REFRESHMENT

• Drawing from your personal experience when you are hot, tired, and thirsty, what does water mean to you?
• What do the quiet waters represent in v.2?  See Jeremiah 2:13; John 4:10, 13-14; and Revelation 7:17.

 

What practical things will you do to intentionally center down in Jesus in order to maintain a rested, refreshed spirit in 2023?
