Restore Your Soul

Do you believe in Gods promises ? If so then you know that it is God who restores our souls. Psalm 23 is a passage that many children learn but it is ever more important to us in life. The Lord is our shepherd; He must be our guide in every step we take, and if He is the one we are following we shall not want. He will allow us to lie down in green pastures and restore our souls, which is something we desperately need from time to time as exhaustion sets in.

Every challenge and every test we face in life and school may feel like the valley of the shadow of death. We should fear no evil if God is with us, but this is a daily invitation. The Holy Spirit does not come into our lives uninvited.  We must know that His correction and gentle guidance are for our comfort. He will prepare a place for us in the presence of our enemies, and goodness and mercy shall follow us as we dwell with the Lord.

For the peace we seek; for the rest we seek; for the hope and joy that we long for... We must find it in him. Neither man, nor t.v. , nor success in school, nor friends, nor family will ever be able to take the place that the Lord, our shepherd, has in our lives. Invite Him in today. Enjoy His green pastures. Drink from His still waters. Restore your soul.

Psalm 23
