"He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake".(Psalms 23 vs 3). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional Today.
Today's Focal Scripture is divided into two using a colon( : ). The first phrase says,"he restoreth my soul", while the second phrase says, "he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake". The two phrases are separated by a colon ( : ). When a colon is used, it simply suggests that the first statement is explained by the second statement.
So, when the Psalmist declared that God restores his soul, he further explained that the purpose of restoration is so that he could walk in the paths of righteousness. He inferred that soul restoration prepares him to walk the path of righteousness. He inferred that until his soul is stable,living a righteous life might just be a struggle.
Friend, hear this: there are things you cannot do,and there are some things you cannot be,until your soul is restored and rescued by God. You may try hard to forgive people who hurt you,but unforgiveness will continually resonate within you if God has not rescued your soul. You may never manifest love,Joy, Peace, Self-control, Patience, Kindness, Goodness and other fruit of the Spirit until God's Word renews your soul.
The soul is the seat of our Will,Thoughts, Enotions etc. So,When a Soul is restored, every desire,thought and feeling emanating from it is aligned to God's will. When your soul is renewed by God, it becomes vulnerable to the leading of the Spirit. When a soul is restored, your will, will be lost in the will of the Lord. When a soul is renewed daily by God's Word, it becomes like a clay in the hands of the Lord and he will always mould you to fit into his pattern.
The restoration of a soul happens in the place of prayer and by God's Word. Are you praying and studying the Word?
Pray with me,"Lord,restore my soul".
Have a Fabulous Friday!
