Psalm 23: Still Waters & the Shepherd's TaleSýnishorn

My wife tells me that sometimes, I smile in my sleep.

Or I’ll just be sitting there, doing nothing, when she walks by and asks, “What are you smiling about?”

I blink. “Nothing… I was smiling?”

She nods and then demonstrates the exact face I was making.

I suppose that’s what peace looks like.

Imagine never wanting for anything.

Imagine resting with a gentle breeze in the air, waking up refreshed every single day.

Imagine facing challenges without fear—because you know you’re taken care of.

Imagine your haters mocking you, only to watch in shock as you’re elevated right in front of them.

Imagine stepping into uncertainty, taking risks, and yet somehow always coming out on top—because you have favor.

This is the tale of The Shepherd.

The Shepherd cares. The Shepherd guides. The Shepherd walks beside you and protects you.

Scripture reminds us over and over:

• Don’t worry about tomorrow—tomorrow will worry about itself.
• Don’t be anxious about anything.
• Be strong and courageous.
• Trust the Shepherd, and He will make your paths straight.

The Shepherd knows His job—and He does it well.

And our job? To trust Him.

To believe that He wants the best for us.

To know that, no matter where we walk, He is always there, keeping us safe.
