Shalom

 
14 I will feed them with good pasture, and on the mountain heights of Israel shall be their grazing land. There they shall lie down in good grazing land, and on rich pasture they shall feed on the mountains of Israel. Ezek 34:14

When I read this verse, I can close my eyes and visualize the scene. I’m sitting in a gently sloping meadow surrounded by sheep. Some are lying down, and others are grazing nearby. There is a gentle stream flowing down the side of the meadow. The meadow overlooks a lush valley and far down in the valley is a white church with a steeple and a cross on it. It is a vision of peace and closeness to Jesus, who is my Shepherd and watches over me. All is well in the world and with my soul, it is shalom.
