“Jesus- the Restorer of My Soul”
by Dona Hake
Today let us meditate on the truth that Jesus IS the Restorer of our soul. Even in the doing of His will our souls can grow weary. This is why we are cautioned in Galatians 6:9 “Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in…”
Today I want to encourage your heart that reaping time is coming, so let us walk as those that believe that our Lord is able to restore and refresh our soul as we serve Him and wait upon Him as He performs His will in our life. Praise the living God that He is able to keep us fresh, strong and built up by the power of His restoration. In Psalm 23 David wrote, “He makes me to lie down in green pastures and He leads me beside the still waters…” I love the words “He makes…” because sometimes that is exactly how it is. Because in those times that we push ourselves, our Lord may need to give us that gentle tug in our hearts,and gently lead us to lay down in His green pastures beside the still waters of His loving Spirit that will truly minister rest to our souls.
In order for us to regenerate our physical bodies one of the most important things is proper rest . And so it is in our soul…we must seek His loving restoration that we be strong and healthy in spirit. I encourage you today to be mindful of your soul’s need for your Lord’s refreshment and restoration.
Psalm 23:3 (AMP)
“He refreshes and restores my life (my self)”
