Day of Praise

Sa, 10/11/14, "Day of Praise"

"He restores my soul." - Psalm 23:3

Sometimes the luster needs to be restored to the silverware. Sometimes a friendship hits a bump in the road and needs to be restored. Sometimes a picture is misplaced and needs to be restored to its proper place.

Sometimes our souls need to be restored.
Maybe your soul has lost its luster like silverware; it doesn't shine anymore; it's become tainted.

Maybe your soul is broken; a relationship with God or spouse or child or parent or friend or coworker has hit a snag; you're hurting and struggling with the strain.

Maybe your soul has fallen; your self-esteem has taken a hit; you've lost your place at a job or with some people who mean a lot to you.

Who knows?

God knows.

Remember.

The LORD is your shepherd. He knows what you need and when you need it.

He knows when your soul needs to be restored. He knows if it's lost its luster. He knows if it's broken. He knows if it's fallen out of place.

He promises.

He'll restore your soul.

Trust him so you can live today in peace.

And not only peace, he'll also restore your joy!

After all, "He restores my soul!" (Psalm 23:3)

Praise God!
