Still Waters in the Mountain Meadow

A quiet stream winds through tall meadow grass toward weathered barns at the edge of a golden field, with forested mountains rising in the distance. The open pasture, reflective water, and rural shelter create a contemplative landscape suited to themes of God’s provision, rest, and creation’s witness to the Creator. The scene recalls the language of Psalm 23, where the Lord leads His people beside still waters and restores the soul. Its pastoral setting also speaks to retreat, prayer, Sabbath rest, and the faithful care of God over the land and those who depend on it. by John Baker
