Menuchah ~ Waters of Rest

His flowing, sparkling love guides, protects, and sustains me in the waters of peaceful repose as I abide in Him.⁠

“Green pastures” speak of a place of quiet rest, repose, pleasure, and comfort; still waters are “waters of quietness.” The peace to which He leads us is a joining peace in Himself. As He continually draws us nearer to Himself in His great love and embrace, He entices us to rest in Him. ⁠

Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, is holding us in His everlasting arms, bringing us ever nearer and deeper into God’s heart! Words cannot describe the quiet rest found as we are held closely to God’s heart. It is beyond expression, beyond description. The most ornate description would seem grossly absurd and exaggerated to one who has not experienced it; and to one who has experienced it, the most eloquent language would seem pathetically inept. Such rest in love defies all attempts as description – and yet it is so glorious, so intimate, so personal, so vividly real that it ought to be the theme of all description. ⁠

In His love, we can be perfectly confident, trusting, and excited in Him. There is nothing to fear, no basis for doubting, no foundation for fretting. ⁠

He leads me beside still waters. Does this resonate in your own heart and life? Is this what He is doing in, through, and for you? This is rest in His love.⁠

May I abide quietly and restfully, embedded in the quiet, peaceful love of God as He holds me more closely to Himself!⁠
