The Good Shepherd - Love

“He offers a resting place for me in his luxurious love. His tracks take me to an oasis of peace near the quiet brook of bliss.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭23‬:‭2‬ ‭TPT‬‬

TPT commentary: “resting place” in “luxurious love” - Or "in spring [green meadows." A good shepherd knows where to pasture his flock. These green meadows would be a resting place, free from all fear. The Greek verb "to love" is agapao, which is a merging of two words and two concepts. Ago means "to lead like a shepherd," and pao is a verb that means "to rest." Love is our Shepherd leading us to the place of true rest in his heart.

TPT commentary: “quiet brook of bliss” - The Hebrew word menuhâ means "the waters of a resting place." See Isa. 11:10.

God’s love for us brings us peace and rest. When I know I am perfectly love I am not in a place of punishment but rather peace. I am in a resting place of luxurious love.

He gives me an oasis of peace. Have you ever been in a desert place? A brook or oasis is fruitful area of the desert. Sometimes we can wander through a desert season with no fruit and no rest. We know we are found in the love of the Good Shepherd, Yeshua, when we can be resting in a desert or wilderness season.

Rest in the love of the Good Shepherd today! You may be in the promise land, the wilderness, or the desert, but His love brings peace and provision.
