No, the grass is not greener on the other side! The greenest pasture is the one in which Christ is found. God’s word says that God leads us to the places of peace, the green   pastures.

Psa 23:2 The Lord makes me lie down in green pastures, & leads me beside quiet waters. 

Don’t jump onto the other side without first doing any work in the field you are in. There are challenges in every field. There are no short cuts to learning the lessons of life. Jumping fields is not the answer.

Ploughing, planting, and taking care of your current field of life,  is what is important. Let God lead you, and your pasture will green up in no time!

God will repay all the years the locusts have “eaten” of your crop (the crop of life). Everything will be restored and overflowing. Even when it seems that you are walking through a valley that has no hope. Stay where God puts you, and plough! Soon enough breakthrough will come!

The Psalmist puts it like this:

Psa 23:3-6  God restores my soul & guides me in paths of righteousness… 4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.  6  Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
