"He restoreth my soul..."(Psalms 23 vs 3). That is the Focal Scripture of Streams of Joy Devotional today.
In Today's Focal Scripture,the Psalmist declared that God restores his soul. The soul is the seat of human emotions,thoughts,feelings, will etc. We often encounter circumstances that affect our souls quite negatively; when this happens,we begin to harbour and breed feelings of fear, doubt, depression, bitterness,pain, unforgiveness, dejection etc. Its all a soul affair!
So, when the Psalmist declared that God restores his soul,he was simply announcing God's capacity to recall,recover,refresh,rescue and retrieve his soul. He was simply inferring that when his soul deviates from the original settings that God put in place,the same God who made the soul would restore it to normalcy. That means when the soul is entrapped in negative emotions,God has the capacity to rescue it.
On daily basis, we often have experiences that put our souls in a trap. Sometimes we are hurt by people and we end up with feelings of bitterness and unforgiveness. We face tragedies and souls are locked up in sorrow and depression. Sometimes,lust eats up the core of our souls. When our souls get into trouble, we start desiring what we shouldn't desire.
Has your soul deviated from the setting that God put in place? Are your emotions beginning to run haywire negatively? Has bitterness,lust,anger, revenge,depression etc trapped your soul? Ask God to restore and deliver your soul from every entrapment of the enemy.
When a soul is endangered,your thoughts and decisions become dysfunctional and ultimately your actions will be a haven of dangerous flaws.
When God delivers your soul, you will shout like the Psalmist in Psalms 124 vs 7,"My Soul has gone free like a bird out of the net of those who would take her: the net is broken, and we are free".
Pray with me,"Lord,restore my soul"
Have a Blessed Thursday!
