Be Thankful: He Restores my Soul
Be Thankful: He Restores my Soul
Psalm 23:3
"He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake."
This ties in with something I didn't talk about in the last post...
God leads us to still waters!
Have you ever seen still waters? What are some of its characteristics?
1. Calm
2. Peaceful
3. Deep!!!
Think about a river, the shallow parts are usually the most rough, but the deep parts...they are usually calm!
Still waters are Deep!
So, how do still waters relate to Soul restoration?
What else is deep? How about our relationship with God Himself?
2 Corinthians 4:7-15
Treasures in Jars of Clay
"But we have this treasure in jars of clay, to show that the surpassing power belongs to God and not to us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you."
This is a picture of our lives...rushed, busied, and Soul depleting!
"Since we have the same spirit of faith according to what has been written, 'I believed, and so I spoke,' we also believe, and so we also speak, knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus and bring us with you into his presence. For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God."
But as God draws nearer to us, and we to Him...the grace of God extends to more and more people!
God makes us lie down in Green pastures...where we meet with Him.
God leads us to the Deep, still waters...where we are in fellowship with Him.
And this is where He restores our Souls!
God's Grace is an Amazing thing!
It is never ending...and only increases!
This is something that cannot be described by words...it is only something that you can experience from God!
No matter where you are in life, no matter what you have done...God's Grace extended through the person of Jesus Christ, is more than enough...it will fill you up and restore your Soul!
In Christ,
David

What's up David! I am thankful! Thankful for all He has done, and thankful for brothers in Christ like yourself that have "gotten" out of the boat and are keeping their eyes on Jesus so that they don't sink!
Keep It Up!!!
