He leads me...

The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.

One benefit of following the Shepherd is He does ALL things for us. As I and my family are about to face a new chapter of our Hanoi life, I can't help but be excited of what is going to unfold as we obey Him. As I came across Psalm 23(again), I am astounded by the words MAKES, LEADS.
King David said He "MAKES" me lie down in green pastures, I immediately imagine a picture of the Shepherd who exactly knows his field, He knows where greener pasture is for it is HIS, the earth is the Lord's and everything in it. He has already surveyed the vastness of His kingdom and deliberately places His people to that specific spot where abundance of everything not only material or financial is evident.
"LEADS" for me means I do not have to panic when my cup runs dry, I do not have to struggle when all there is for me is a handful of flour and a little jar of oil. I do not have to run around looking for resources, for income, for work, for money because He SHALL LEAD me to that place. If I know my Shepherd then I should not be anxious. If am still and know deeply that He is God then nothing in this world shall move me.
