He maketh me to lie down in green pastures

Bagster's Daily Light - September 2 - Evening

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 1 

But the wicked are like the tossing sea; for it cannot be quiet, and its waters toss up mire and dirt. There is no peace," says my God, "for the wicked." 2 

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 3 

Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! 4 

for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his. 5 

Do not be led away by diverse and strange teachings, for it is good for the heart to be strengthened by grace, not by foods, which have not benefited those devoted to them. 6 

so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, 7 

As an apple tree among the trees of the forest, so is my beloved among the young men. With great delight I sat in his shadow, and his fruit was sweet to my taste. He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. 8
