Lie Down

My uncle was just commenting to me about how grateful he is for Psalms 23. When lying down at night, he thinks of how verse 2 says, "He lets me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside still waters."

"Wouldn't the meaning be so different if it said, ' He has me standing in green pastures'?" he said. "I'm so glad God lets us rest. He gives us plenty of good grass to eat, a calm cool breeze, and peaceful waters to drink from. He takes care of us and let's us lie down."

Yes, I agree. I'm grateful for the rest I get, but not as often as I should be. Think on this tonight as you go to bed. Thank Him for green pastures.
