Restoration Of Our Souls (Daily Devotional)

Shalom and thank you once again for joining us in this weekly devotion and today’s devotion as well. We hope and trust that as you are meditating in Gods word, you are growing in your knowledge and intimacy with Him. We have been meditating on the theme of restoration and for our meditation/ learning today, we are looking at how God restores our souls. Psalm chapter 23, verse 3 writes, ‘He restores my soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.’ This psalm is a very familiar one and I believe most of us know this by heart. When we look at this verse, we do see that very often, the wear and tear of life is something that can drain us and our lives can be replete with moments that really bring us down either physically or emotionally or even a time of dryness in our spirits. These are times when we feel a sense of withering, a sense of being parched like that of a desert and we may seek that rejuvenation. It could be a loss of a loved one or betrayal of somebody or it is a period of doubt or it could just be the everyday grind and routine of things, we all know moments when our souls become weary and tired and our zeal has actually washed away. But in these moments, here is what the psalmist writes, he reminds us of a wonderful truth that God is the one who is the restorer of our souls. Just like a shepherd who tends to his tired and his weary sheep, He ensures that He tends to us and our souls. He doesn’t just patch us up but He restores us, renews us and brings us to that place of wholeness. Often when we look at this verse again, we see that Gods restoration again is not aimless, He restores us so that we are led to paths of righteousness. The purpose of this restoration is just not a personal revival but it can be a divine redirection. When we are restored, we are better equipped in walking along with God’s purposes, to make sure that we make a difference in the world we are in. Our restoration again is just not for our benefit, it is for His namesake, it is for the glory of God. When we are revived, when we live righteously, we become those living testimonies unto Him, we become the testimony of His grace, mercy as well as His restorative power. So, today, if you find your soul being weary, tired, remember the promise of Psalm chapter 23, verse 3. The world often gives us temporary reliefs but in the presence of God, we find our true restoration. Let us pause, reflect and seek Him, whether it is through prayer, through worship, through reading the word, through praying in tongues, let us give that space for Him to restore our souls. May we find solace in this promise. Let’s pray together, Heavenly Father, I commit everyone hearing us, those who feel weary and tired. Thank you that your promise is for us, that you will restore our souls, you will give us your grace and mercy so that we can live in paths of righteousness for the glory of God. Thank you for hearing our prayer, in Jesus’s name, Amen.
