Do you ever go to the grocery store, buy a bunch of things, and then realize when you get home that you didn't buy anything for dinner? I do this all the time, and it's so frustrating -- I was in the midst of so many great options, but missed the obvious reason for going to the store.
When I read the 23rd Psalm, I often get hung up on the first verse. When the Lord is our Shepherd, we don't want for anything. We find complete satisfaction in God. That's the picture of what heaven will be like, and it's available to us now, but so often, we're putting so many other things in the cart that we completely miss that God will supply our needs.
Granted, sometimes we need to let God make us lie down in pastures. We need to allow God to lead us to still waters. We're often so busy trying to achieve these on our own that we miss what God wants to do for us.
