Refreshing My Spirit

“He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His names’ sake.”

Psalm 23:3 (NKJV)

Do you sometimes wake up from a full night’s sleep feeling tired? I know at that point, I need to slow down and get some rest or I will get sick. How about do you ever sometimes feel spiritually worn out? It can happen to anyone. Maybe we are carrying an unusually heavy load of problems. Perhaps we’ve been battling a nagging temptation, or we’ve been on the receiving end of unfair criticism. Whatever it is it has beaten us down. Way down, deep within our soul, there’s weariness that we think we can’t overcome.

Psalms 23:3 reminds us that  “He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.” God can help us all when we get weary and defeated. God has a way of strengthening us at the deepest levels of our lives. His Spirit searches out to the most private corners of our mind to renew our thinking. I love the fact that He’ll guide us back into a life that reflects His own righteousness. He’ll give us a fresh start. The way He chooses to restore us is as unique as we are, but our Shepherd will revitalize our soul if we ask Him.

“Father, slow us down so we can bask in the sweetness of Your presence and experience refreshing moments at Your feet.”

For His Glory
