Psalm 23: He Leads Me Beside Still Waters

Psalm 23:2 describes one of the Shepherd’s most gracious provisions: “He leads me beside still waters.” In this episode, Dr. Tony Myers explores why busyness is more than just a modern inconvenience—it can become spiritually unhealthy, even sinful. Many of us live at a constant pace, moving from one demand to the next, never slowing down long enough to experience the rest God provides. Sheep cannot drink from chaotic or stagnant water. They require calm, steady streams to be refreshed and sustained. In the same way, God leads His people to places of stillness—not because He is restrictive, but because He is merciful. This teaching invites us to examine where busyness has taken over and where the Shepherd may be calling us to stop, rest, and receive the gift of still waters.
