He Restores My Soul
Thursday, June 18, 2009
I woke this morning and God was calling to me to pick up His Word and to eat. So I sleepily reached for the book, heaved it onto my stomach opening to Psalm 23. Verses 2 and 3 spoke to my spirit:
"He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul."
He restores my soul. What does that mean exactly was my first thought? My 2nd thought was what does this mean to me? To me it means that when I am weak and weary, He gives me exactly the amount of strength I need for today. To me it means that he puts angels in my path to lift up my spirits and songs on the radio to make me smile and remember that life isn't all that serious. It means that when my soul is hurting and lonely, that He is enough for me and He loves me more then I can imagine. He wants to show me His love, He wants to restore my soul. He wants me to be whole, complete in Him. It means laying down lies and picking up truths and clinging to those truths in the midst of difficulty, until your knuckles turn white. It means peace in the middle of pain and conflict and perspective in the valley. It means turning my face to the sun and letting it shine upon me. It means still waters.
So I pose this question to you: What does it mean to you, that God would restore your soul?

Dear kate... how could I answer this question now... it means so many things... He restore my soul. He does, Kate. He does. We will talk and walk and think and be and share even this more among the mountains soon... In those little things, he blesses us and replenishes us and He Restores Our Soul.
