Jesus, Soul-Restorer

"He restores my soul." Psalm 23:3a
"Return, o my soul, to your rest; for Yahweh has dealt bountifully with you!" Psalm 116:7

​Jesus, my great Shepherd, Yahweh my Lord - You restore my soul. You are my Soul-Restorer.

My soul, what are you doing aching and languishing when there is a rest and a restoration awaiting you in your Redeemer's strong arms? Return! For you already know how our kind Shepherd provides for us in such a way that we have no lack! Return! How our gracious Shepherd provides for us lush green pastures on which to lay our weary body and quiet our troubled mind. You know, my soul, how He - my loving Shepherd - provides water to slake our thirst-prone self. O, how He provides more than we can drink in! Consider, o my soul, how our wise shepherd leads us for His own glory and always for our own good! We can rest, soul, in His tender care. and in resting we can experience true restoration.

What are you, my soul, waiting for?
