The Place of True Rest - Psalm 23: The Lord, Our Shepherd

Psalm 23:2; Matthew 11:25-30

Rest and refreshment. The words speak to a deep longing and great need of every soul. And while we may have fleeting moments of both in our lives at various times and in various ways, ongoing, soul-satisfying, timeless rest remains elusive.  Unless there is One willing and able to lead us to the place where true, eternal rest and refreshment are found. That is what the Lord, our Shepherd promises to his sheep, and what Jesus the good Shepherd himself provides to all who will come to him.  We continue to consider the shepherding care of our Lord, Jesus who himself is where we find true rest for our souls.
