Daily Devotional:
“Finding Rest in the "In-Between"
Psalm 23:2-3
"He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul."
It’s easy to feel like life is a series of waiting rooms. We wait for the weekend, wait for the promotion, wait for the "perfect" time to start a project, or wait for a difficult season to finally end. But if we only focus onthe destination, we miss the growth happening in the transit.
Notice the phrasing in this verse; He makes me lie down. Sometimes, we are so focused on running toward the next goal that we don't realize our souls arerunning on empty. Rest isn't a sign of weakness or a "break" from real life; it is a spiritual necessity.
The "green pastures" aren't always a physical place. Often, they are a state of mind—a decision to trust that even if today feels mundane or stalled, you are exactly where you need to be. Growth doesn't just happen in the sunlight of success; it happens deeply and quietly in the soil of the ordinary.Identify one "micro-rest" moment today. Take five minutes without your phone, no multitasking to simply breathe and acknowledge one thing you are gratefulfor in this exact moment, regardless of what the future holds.
If you feel "stuck" today, consider that you might actually be "planted."
