Monday Week 5 of Lent April 7, 2025
Psalm 23 is probably the most familiar of all 150 psalms. “The Lord is my shepherd.” Our Good Shepherd promises quiet repose by restful waters. There we will be refreshed from our daily tasks. Where can we find these quiet places in our lives? We are bombarded by the 24-hour news cycle, grocery shopping, jobs, parenting, and committee meetings. Turn off the TV or radio. Put down the newspaper and the cell phone, and shut off the computer. Gather family or friends or go for a walk just by yourself. Marvel in the beauty of creation while we still can. What you find there will refresh you. Then tomorrow advocate for its preservation.
