Refresh
August 11
Wandering out onto my screen porch at 4:30 AM this morning I was
thrilled to find some quiet time outdoors when it was below 90 degrees.
The past couple days it has been difficult to be refreshed outside.
This definition of "refresh" thrilled me:to restore strength and animation.
When we encounter spiritual attacks we feel as if we have rendered the
loss of animation in our lives. Laughing with the Lord this morning at
such an early hour I wasn't certain He was in the correct time zone wanting
me to get up and be refreshed. I tried to go back to sleep, but it was as
if He kept hitting the little button on my computer with the "refresh"
arrow, poking me until I got up and off with Him!
Proverbs 11:25
A generous man will prosper;
he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
Jeremiah 31:25
I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.
Acts 3:19
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out,
that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.
The refreshment of God that comes from His Word is better than the
most freshly squeezed lemonade.
Let's Pray: Lord, honor, glory and praise are all Yours! Restore to us
the joy of your salvation, let us gaze into Your face and be refreshed.
In Jesus' Name, Amen
Psalm 51:12
Restore to me the joy of your salvation and
grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
