SCRIPTURE READING: PSALM 23: 1-6
FOCUS: “He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.” (Psalm 23: 2)
MEMORY VERSE: “Those that be planted in the house of the LORD shall flourish in the courts of our God.” (Psalm 92: 13)
In our Focal Scripture, the psalmist speaks of how the Lord makes him to lie down in green pastures. Notice that the psalmist did not speak of withered pastures; he spoke about green pastures. When pastures are green, it means they are fresh and flourishing. So, by the affirmation of the psalmist, God brought him to pasture that is fresh and flourishing. God brought the psalmist to fruitful and flourishing grounds.
Friend, hear me as I hear the Lord: your pastures will be green. Your pastures will be flourishing. Your pastures will be fruitful. Your pastures will be desirable. God will cause the works of your hands to flourish. God will cause your career to flourish. God will cause your business to flourish. God will cause your ministry to flourish. God will cause your fields to flourish. God will cause your life to be a tale of freshness and productivity.
When God planted a garden, He caused a river to come out of Eden. God created a system that watered the garden he planted. Hear me as I hear the Lord: God will set systems in place to ensure that your pastures remain evergreen. God will position men that will water your garden. God will set the systems of heaven to work in favour of your garden. No matter whose garden is withered, yours will remain evergreen.
There could have been withered pastures elsewhere, but the psalmist spoke of how the Lord caused him to have green pastures. Hear me as I hear the Lord: others may have withered pastures, but it will not be your portion. You will not have dry pastures. You will not be unfruitful in your harvest season. You will not manage anything below your destiny mandate. You will not be counted amongst them that are in famine.
Welcome to your season of green pastures. Welcome to that season where your fields will be green with harvest.
