Be at rest once more, o my soul

This is the part where I share what God is sharing with me.

                           Psalm 23
"The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want
    He makes me lie down in green pastures,
          He leads me beside quiet waters,
                 He restores my soul"

          5 "You prepare a table before me
           in the presence of my enemies."

I know there is a reason for the time that I am still in Celina, or the U.S. for that matter. I want to be in San Pedro really badly, but I'm waiting on my financial savings. If it were just the money holding me back, God could provide that with no problem. I believe he still has me here for a reason, and I must accomplish that before I go.
   This verse comforts me when I feel restless and unsatisfied with where I'm at. He makes me lie down in green pastures. When I get worked up and anxious, running around like a dog chasing its tail, he makes me lie down and rest.
    Also in verse 5 "you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies"
when I'm anxious and can see the battle in my midst, He prepares a table for me to sit down and eat. He says not to worry.
     In this case, fear is my enemy. Fear of missing opportunity or not seeing people again. But God knows otherwise. He makes me lie down and rest while he takes care of the details.


 Psalm 24
"The earth is the Lord's and everything in it."

Why should I worry about what I have or don't have? It's all God's anyway. He will do with all of it what he pleases.
