Dwelling Beside Still Waters

A quiet white cottage rests on a hillside above calm waters, with reeds along the shore, weathered rocks in the foreground, and green pasture rising into mist. The setting evokes the peaceful language of Psalm 23, where the Lord leads His people beside still waters and restores the soul. No figures are present; the emphasis is on shelter, providence, and the gentle nearness of God revealed through a rural place of rest. This contemplative landscape is suited for church bulletins, devotional covers, sermon visuals on rest and trust, pastoral care materials, and ministry themes centered on God as Shepherd. by John Baker
