The writer David reminds us that these quiet waters are to help us feel safe, rested and refreshed as we live an abundant Christian life.

Jesus said to a group of his followers, " I am the Bread of Life." This really confused them. This caused some followers to run. Christ put up a barrier that his followers had to face. How do we face barriers in our lives today? Do we try to go around them, so we don't have to deal with it? Or do we muster up our faith and climb over it? Once we learn to climb over, we can then reach a new height and get out of the shadows of our lives.
