He leads me by still waters...

Water; without it, there is no life. Still waters conjure up all kinds of images, beautiful sites like the Lake District perhaps? With the picturesque landscape reflecting in the mirror of fresh waters. Still, tranquil, rest, quiet, peace.So at a guess, David found rest by such places. He was a shepherd before his kingdom days and this was no doubt one reasons how and why he related to God as thee shepherd.

David the shepherd more than likely led his sheep to the waters to drink and himself too. As a result of all this nourishment and refreshment he may have found solace and peace. However, although a quaint, idylic scene, we don't all find peace by still waters.

I was in a bay of shallow waters, crystal clear, turquoise with blue fish swimming around. As it is part of the Mediterranean sea it is very warm. My feet resting on white sand with rather large waves lifting me, then a rushing of white as the crest of the waves broke over me. It wasn't quiet or peaceful, yet, I found peace here.

Where do you find peace? Is it in the quiet and calm or is it in the blood rushing activity of life?We are all different, find your peace. Be at peace with God and drink the water of life such that you will not thirst.
