TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: Psalm 23
“He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.” (Psalm 23: 2)
In our Focal Scripture, the psalmist speaks of how the Lord causes him to lie down in green pastures. Ordinarily, sheep feed on grass; but according to the psalmist, the shepherd causes him to lie down on the same thing he ought to consume. According to the psalmist, the shepherd causes him to take a higher position above what he needs. The shepherd causes him to stay above the resources he needs.
Friend, if the Lord has become your shepherd, then welcome to the higher and better life. You will lie down on the green pastures that others struggle for. You will be above the things you need. You will operate above the levels of what you ordinarily should labour for. God is placing you above the levels of human struggles. God is placing the things you need under you. God is giving you dominion over the very things you need to feed on.
By the psalmist’s declaration, the Lord caused him to take a position above the pasture he needed. The Lord put him above pasture. The Lord gave him rulership over pasture. Hear me as I hear the Lord: you will rule over your green pastures. You will have the higher life where resources will not control you but you will control resources. You will enjoy the higher life in Christ where your connection to the source puts you above resources.
What others chase after, you will sit on it. You are called to the higher life where your pasture is under your dominion. You will be in control of resources, but resources will not control you. You will not be subject to resources. Other ‘sheep’ may struggle to have grass; but you will be divinely positioned to enjoy rest on top of pasture. You will be relaxed on your pasture. You will be made to lie down in places where you ought to struggle.
I speak over your life: may you experience the higher life of grace. Grace will put you above others. Grace will put you ahead of your needs. Welcome to the higher life.
Ephesians 2: 6 says: “And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:”
DECLARATION: I have the higher life in Christ, in Jesus’ name!
