Day #3 #ReDiscover U

"He restores my soul" Have you ever felt depleted? Like you were close to throwing in the towel...I have and I must say it has happened more than once. The closest thing that  I can compare it to would be the day I tried running multiple errands with very little gas in the car. I had money to put gas in the car, but I told myself, "I can make it....I've done it before." Passing several gas station in route (which I would later regret) my mind became occupied with other things...totally forgetting about the fact that I needed gas. That's when it happened...this vehicle that I trusted to get me where I needed to go abruptly came to a hault. Why? Because I failed to get the vehicle where it needed to be in order for it to be supplied  with what it needed. Without supplying the vehicle with what it needed, it could no longer function in it's purpose or what it was created to do.  It doesn't matter how "good" a car looks or how "nice" the wheels and rims are...if there's no gas in it, it can't serve anyones need. Like a car, at times we are running close to empty, sadly many people do not have anything within telling them that their about to come to an abrupt stop. Often times depression and frustration sets in and we feel like we are failures. It's not that we are failures or our life has no meaning....we just need to get to the place or environment that has the capacity to give us what we need and fill us up. Obviously, we are not cars...so that place is not a gas station but rather in God's presence. David said, "He restores my soul" The Lord, the Good Shepherd, can restore you. Not only can He restore you, He is also a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.  We are very good at rekindling old flames once the fire has gone out....but I challenge you to commit your way to the Lord and He will direct your path. Before you plan your vacation for the holidays or mark your 2018 calendar ...take a day off from work or just set some time aside for God....talk to Him, read his word...meditate on Him..let the Good Shepherd restore your soul "They that keep their minds stayed on Him, shall be kept in perfect peace"
