HE RESTORETH MY SOUL
Today’s Text: He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. (Psalm 23:3)Today’s Thoughts: Today we’re going to focus on just the first part of this verse. Do you ever need encouragement? When we are feeling down our Shepherd is willing and waiting to comfort and strengthen us. He longs to restore our souls to the state of peace that He has blessed us with in the past. He wants to one day restore us to the incomprehensible peace that He intended for us to have when He created us. If you need God’s peace once again, or even if you’ve never sensed His presence and peace before, invite Him to come into your heart and bless you with His peace. We all need peace.
Today’s Testimony: When Today’s T’s first started going out I received feedback in some way or another just about every day, but for ages now I’ve hardly received anything. The greatest feedback lately has been checking which parts of the world have viewed Today’s T’s blog. Many of those people stumble across the blog accidentally, and yet God’s hand is in everything. Please pray that all those people will find their Saviour, no matter how much they see or read. The Revealing Christ Ministries logo of the heart on the cross says more than a thousand words, and that’s probably the first thing they see.
Last night I was feeling rather discouraged. There are a lot of things concerning me at the moment. I went to an evangelistic campaign and while sitting there the Lord reminded me that I need to find my peace in Him and Him alone. Even if there’s no one to encourage me and a few that Satan uses to discourage me, it does not matter, as long as I have the Lord.
When I left the meeting I had a good chat to a dear friend that I hadn’t spoken to in ages. The Lord used that to cheer me up.
The Lord and I sat down and wrote this song last night and this morning. If you are also in need of the Lord’s restoring power in your life, I hope this song will help you to sense God’s peace.
Lord Please Restore
Lord please restore my soul
Please take my crushed spirit and make it whole
For Lord I am so weak I can barely carry on
I need Your strength to lean upon
Lord please lead me back to Your peace
Where my burdens You untie and release
For I know that In You my weary soul can find
Hope and peace of mind
Even if there is no one to encourage me
And though there be a few that would discourage me
Lord may my peace be found in You alone
For though there be no one else, with You I’m never on my own
This sheep Lord, is ready to come home
This sheep Lord, no longer wants to roam
Away from the peace I find in You
O Lord comfort me as only You can do
This sheep Lord, as weary as I be
Knows that You Lord, will gladly carry me
For I dare not go forward alone
Lord this sheep is coming home
Lord, your peace please restore
And help this sheep to stray no more
Today’s Thanks: Lord I praise and thank You for Your peace. I thank You that as our loving Shepherd You restore our souls. Lord please comfort and strengthen us and give us hope. Help us to turn to You for peace and to You alone. Lord I thank You that You care about each one of us so much. Amen.
