He Makes Me Go Nigh-Night

I’ve been working on the 23rd Psalm with Liliana, who is now two and a half. She repeats after me or sometimes joins in. The other day, when I said, “He makes me lie down,” she responded, “He makes me go nigh-night.” We cracked up at her interpretation! It is so sweet to hear her small innocent voice speaking the Truth of God’s powerful Word. This Psalm is a wonderful reminder that He alone offers protection, provision, peace, and yes, rest!

The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You have anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, And I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23 NAS
