The Cross & Psalm 23 Part 2 "He Makes Me Lie Down"

Psalm 23:2

"He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters..."

Five Practical helps to "resting":

1. Know your likes and dislikes
2. Know your limitations
3. Know when to say yes
4. Know when to say no
5. Know when to say not now

Psalm 46:10

"Be still and know that I am God..."

to "be still" literally means...to be slack; idle; feeble; to sink down; to be despondent; disheartened; to be lazy; abandoned; a loss of courage; to be discouraged"

Five sobering realities in our spiritual journey:

1. There will be seasons of disappointment
2. There will be seasons of discouragement
3. There will be seasons of desertion and abandonment
4. There will be seasons of being disheartened
5. There will be seasons of despondency

One amazing revelation:

These will only be seasons along the way; the destination of the journey is ALWAYS a beautiful place; an oasis in the desert place!
