Pensées sur le Verset du Jour...
Il restaure mon âme. Ça sonne si bien. Mais c'est plus que parler. Lorsque nous avons atteint ce point où nous ne pouvons plus continuer, Dieu nous donne la force de continuer à marcher. Lorsque nous sommes dans une lutte et que les choses sont difficiles, sa puissance nous soutient et nous courons vers la victoire. Quand nous remportons des victoires en son nom, nous pouvons planer sur des ailes comme des aigles. Il est berger et plus encore. Il est le Rock and Sustainer de nos vies !
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
"He restores my soul."
My, that sounds so good, doesn't it? But David's shepherd psalm (Psalm 23:1-6) and Jesus' promises as our Good Shepherd (John 10:14-15) are far more than sweet religious talk. When we've reached that point where we don't think we can continue, our Shepherd blesses us with the strength so that we can keep on walking. When we're in a struggle and things are tough, his power upholds us, so we run and not grow weary. When we're winning victories in his name, we can soar on wings like eagles because he supports and sustains (Isaiah 40:28-31). God the Son is our good Shepherd who loves us, sustains us, nourishes us, stills us, and restores us.
The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
Ma Prière...
O doux berger, aide-moi à me reposer ce soir dans ta grâce et dans la confiance que tu es à proximité. Au nom de Jésus, je prie. Amen.
My Prayer...
O Gentle yet mighty Shepherd, please bless me with rest tonight, strength today and for tomorrow, perseverance for my times of trial, and confidence that you are nearby with grace and power to sustain me. In the name of Jesus, my Good Shepherd, I pray. Amen.
