Green Pastures

Word of the Day
Have I not said, “Taste and see that I am good!” My green pastures and still waters are just one more glorious provision in Me. Peace is My name and I am calling you to a place of peace where you can sleep in the boat during a storm and consider it a restful garden of verdant green (Luke 8:22-25).

What is this pasture, this place? It is My Word. My Word is your food, your nourishment. It is always full of life and never void of power or barren. Come lie down in the peace of My Word. There is not one situation in your life I do not have an answer for, or provide a pasture to reside in. Do no lightly observe My Word, but meditate on it and let it create pastures of contentment in your heart. My Word revives you and gives you life (Psalms 119:50).

My Word creates in you freedom from fear, strife, worry, frustration and hunger. You cannot do this on your own. My Word implanted imparts faith to believe that I keep you from all threats of the enemy, threats to take, to remove My promises from your life or any other tactic aimed at stealing you away from My Word, My protection.

When you are resting in My Word, mercy and loving-kindness meet with truth. Righteousness and peace kiss each other (Psalms 85:9-11). Green pastures are places of peace without offense because you love My law, My Word (Psalms 119:165). I am the Lord and I am the Word so you could say, The Lord, the Word makes me lie down in green pastures when appropriated in my life.

Yes, My Word creates green pastures and peace of mind. It creates a future and a hope. When you put My Word in your heart, when you appropriate it, the Word makes you lie down in a place of rest, for your mind is renewed. My word has power. My Word makes green pastures and watered gardens out of your heart and life. You be come what you lie in, so lie in My Word.

Today I come to the earth of your heart, the pasture of your habitation and I saturate it with water. I enrich it. I water your fields abundantly and make the soil of your heart soft with showers and bless the growth of your pastures. I crown your year with gladness and you will drip with moisture and gird yourself with joy. I cover your meadows with flocks and your valleys with grain. You are indeed a green pasture and a sheep of My hand (Psalms 65:9-13).

Let My Word, My presence create contentment and lack of fear in your heart. Set your eyes on Me and fear not, worry not, strive not, and be at peace with all men in the place I have provided for your habitation in this life.

“He makes me lie down in [fresh, tender] green pastures; He leads me beside the still and restful waters” (Psalm 23: 2 Amplified)

Prayer
Not only do I lie down in green pastures, I am a green pasture created by the Word of God hid in my heart. Peace and contentment are being formed in the very depths of my being. Because of this peace I sleep in the storms of life without being afraid. I am resting in words of mercy and grace. His Word is shielding me day and night.

There is no room for offense in me. The Word is hid in my heart and creates a future and a hope. My heart, my earth is like a well watered field and springs forth with lush vegetation and my valleys are full of grain. I rest in the green pasture of the Lord and I am a green pasture for others to rest in. I am the sheep of His hand. Amen

Reflect and Journal

1. Did you ever think of His Word in you creating the green pasture you are to lie in? It is not a far off thing, an elusive thing; it is simply being in Him and the Word which are one in the same. Reflect on this truth.
2. What areas of your life, your pasture do you need to have watered. Find the answer in the Word, meditate on it and become it. Write some of these areas down with corresponding scriptures so you don?t forget and just go on about your way
