He Makes Me Lie Down

I don’t remember liking naps as a child, but I sure appreciate them now! Sometimes I do too much. Then I ache or can’t catch my breath. My body makes me take a break. And while I rest, some healing is going on inside of me. As we rest in God by reading and learning about the Bible, listening to a sermon, praying, and receiving the Lord’s Supper, we receive spiritual healing. God restores and renews our souls. When we get too busy or our sin weighs us down, our Shepherd reminds us that it’s time to sit beside his still waters and be restored again.
