Psalm 23:3 “He Restoreth My Soul…”
God restores
Have you ever felt like giving up? The reasons can be many but the feeling is singular…don’t want to try anymore. You just want to quit. That job, that marriage, that journey to wellness, that journey to worship, whatever it may be: You just want out!
I have good news for you. GOD RESTORES!
Ask Adam: he lost two sons by one murder but God gave him another and our whole world as descendants. Noah lost all his neighbors in a flood but God made him a savior for the whole world and the father of us all…and the animals were grateful for their ride in the ark as well. Job lost everything but when he prayed for his friends God gave him more than ever. There are so many stories but the common thread is that tomorrow comes and God is there. He heals, He mends, He RESTORES.
When we break a bone we can’t use it for a while because it takes time to heal. But GOD RESTORES so you can use it again. Your heart may be aching right now…that’s OK. You’ll feel better again. Just don’t give up on God. Remind yourself who He is. I John 4:8 says that God is love. And John 3:16 tells us that God loves us so much that He gave up his dearest relationship, His son, to die so that we could be with Him forever. So if God loves us that much He will be certain to give us what we need.
Here’s a song that helps me remember this truth. I wish you well on your journey to wellness and journey to worship. Never give up! GOD RESTORES.
