Greener Pastures

A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures... (Psalm 23:1-2a)

Our great Shepherd has purposed to lead us into green pastures where we might be nourished and comforted. I detect in that promise a sense of regular moving from one pasture to another. In a natural sense it would be impossible for those pastures to grow ever greener over time, even in small increments. But in the spiritual and therefore real sense, the pastures into which we are led grow greener as the days pass. Shadows fall over us, but the pasture of the scriptures is richer and fuller as we journey with our Savior.
Such truth is both encouraging and challenging is it not? Encouraging, in the sense of knowing that the Lord desires to feed us well with His word all our days; Challenging, in the sense that our taste for scripture is not always what it ought to be. So my objective in blogging expositions of scripture and reflections on life will be to encourage you with the richness of God's truth, and to challenge you to treasure it and to long for it especially when you are tempted to feed your soul with something else.
