Psalm 23
2b HE LEADETH ME BESIDE THE STILL WATERS.
Leadeth - Strong's definition - "to run with a sparkle, i.e. flow; hence to conduct and (by infer.) to protect, sustain: carry, feed, guide, lead, (gently) on."
Still - Strong's definition - "repose or (adv.) peacefully; fig. consolation (spec. matrimony); hence an abode; comfortable, ease, quiet, rest (-ing place), still."
"The MEEK will he guide..." ((Ps. 25:9)
As I surrender to You, by Your grace...as YOUR meekness comes upon me, I find myself rejoicing and feeding upon Your "vitamin-enriched" pastures. I know also that You are "running with a sparkle" before me...protecting me...SUSTAINING me...carrying me...leading
me...guiding me GENTLY on. Here at the edge of Your green pastures of SURRENDER, I also find Your peaceful, still waters - my FOREVER ABODE - "not waters that roar and make a noise enough to frighten a fearful sheep (like ME), but water 'still' and quiet" (Quote by Sir
Richard Baker) - the waters of comfortable QUIET REST - the waters of Your consolation and PEACE...the STILL WATERS - "the influences and graces" of Your precious Holy Spirit. (Quote by Spurgeon)
Hallelujah!
