CUP OF COMFORT: Quiet Waters, Peaceful Heart

“He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.”

Psalm 23:2

• When I was a little girl, my family spent a week each summer in the mountains of New Hampshire. After dinner one evening, my dad set me on his shoulders, took a beach chair in one hand and a small Bible in the other, and went to the river in time for sunset. The setting sun painted the horizon a soft orange and pink. The waters quietly lapped the shoreline. “The Lord, your Shepherd, wants you to trust Him so your heart can be quiet, just like these waters are quiet and still,” he tenderly said to me. I can tell you now that there have been many times when the circumstances of my life seemed more like tempests! Yet each time I look to my Good Shepherd, trust Him and His leading, my heart does feel quieted. Despite swelling seas—and even worsening weather—there is a stillness in my heart that’s unshakable. Have you been there beside peaceful streams? Quiet waters tell me exactly what God desires for my heart.
