He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake. (Psalm 23:2,3 NASB)
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake. (Psalm 23:2,3 NASB)
He
restores my soul.
Oh,
how I love that! Oh, how I need that!
The
word David uses for restore is shuwb (pronounced
shoob). It also means turn back, return, come back, bring back, refresh,
repair.
Who
of us doesn’t need a little shuwb, a little
restoration, and probably in every area of our lives?
We
need relational restoration, financial restoration, spiritual, mental,
physical, emotional, schedule, even motivational restoration.
The
thing is, if we allow Him to restore our souls, every other area of our lives
will be affected.
It
has to start there, in the depths of the deep soul.
O my God, my soul is in despair within
me….
Deep calls to
deep at the sound of Your waterfalls;
(Psalm 42)
Hmmm…waterfalls…and
quiet waters…
Water
from above cascading down, mingling and flowing into deep, still, quiet pools.
The
thundering flood of Living Water poured into us quiets, stills, renews, revives.
Restores.
Lord,
we invite Your rivers of living water to fill our parched souls, that we may never
thirst again.
