He restores my soul;
He leads me in paths
of righteousness for
His name’s sake.
Psalm 23:3
We’re back together again, friends.
And maybe you’re coming to the table, well, kind of off kilter.
Hungry.
Thirsty.
Edgy.
Soul weary.
Often we know we’re famished. Parched in spirit. Other times we don’t fully comprehend the impact of the yawning depths of the emptiness within.
Spiritual hunger unquenched often comes disguised as physical or emotional exhaustion.
And our quest for relief becomes relentlessly misguided as we head down yet another wrong path, looking for some thing, some feeling, some person that will satisfy. We crave a quick fix, an easy solution, a rush of dopamine, a sugar high.
The applause of the crowd.
But only God.
He quenches the thirst and fills the aching void. He Himself is our ultimate satisfaction, our living water, our spiritual manna, the source of life itself.
Holy Spirit, please do what You do best - comfort, refresh, convict, prompt, guide, protect, calm, and strengthen. Delight us with an abundance of Your refreshing presence. We hunger and thirst for more of You.
Fill us to overflowing with great big helpings of the fruit of Your Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
(Galatians 5)
Mold us and re-make us to look more like Jesus. For His name’s sake. And for our spiritual growth, emotional sanity, and physical well being.
Amen and amen.
