Have Your Soul Refreshed

I went to my daily devotion book today, "Mornings with God," by Joyce Meyer.  Joyce is a fabulous writer and walks so close with God.  She is an inspiration to me as I grow in my faith.  This is what today's devotion said to me.

Matthew 11:28-29   Come to me, all you that are weary and carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.  Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble of heart, and you will find rest for your soul.

What a wonderful promise!  He is always there for us in any and every situation.  It is by Jesus' sacrifice that we have this privilege, to learn on God, to maintain a refreshed soul.  Hallelujah!  Thank you Jesus! 

Jesus invites us in to this privilege, to receive His rest, relief from worries and refreshment of our soul.  As we spend more time with God, more time with the Word, always being aware of his presence in our life, the more refreshed we will be.

How do we spend more time with the Lord?  Through prayer.  Prayer isn't a labor, it's a privilege.  It's spending time with someone that loves us abundantly.  Reading the Word is another part of spending more time with God.  The word teaches us what living a Godly life is, how to see, understand and follow in Jesus' footsteps.  

By spending time in prayer and in the Word, we grow our faith.  With faith follows trust, and trust is where your heart and soul finds what it most needs.

Psalm 16:11  "You will show me the path of life, in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.

Slow down. Take a deep breath.  Allow your soul to find rest in Jesus.  He will always take care of you.  All that is needed is your faith and trust.

Joyce Meyer adds a statement or confession of faith at the end of each devotion.  Today's statement is:

When I feel frustrated, worried, or burdened with cares and anxiety, I will take time to go to Jesus and be refreshed in his presence.

I love the Lord with all my heart and soul.  I want nothing more than to worship God, to live a loving and humble life with Jesus.  I strive toward this every day, through reading the Word, through prayer, through sharing my great love, for God, with others.  Thank you God for giving me this glorious gift of eternal life.  I am proud to be a woman of God.  I am proud to serve the Lord.  Hallelujah!!! Praise the Lord!!! Amen!!!

If you are feeling burdened today?  Are you looking for more?  Look to God!  Confess your sins, ask for forgiveness and receive salvation today.  (See page "Finding Salvation").

May God bless you today!!!!
