Refreshment for Our Souls

With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation. Isaiah 12:3

I was reading an online devotion from the First Five app, a feature of Proverbs 31 Ministries and the writer referred to “spiritual refreshment”. “Remind me in the midst of life’s lows that I can always reach up to You for spiritual refreshment through praise and prayer.”

I like this wording. It was echoed in our Wednesday Morning Bible Study, The Cycle of Grace, where we’re learning that Jesus experienced sustaining grace (human and divine interaction) when he took time to:

·         Pray

·         Cultivate close relationships with his disciples

·         Worship in the synagogue

·         Spend time in table fellowship with others

·         Feed upon the scriptures

·         Spend time in solitude

·         Enjoy long walks

·         Enjoy God’s creation, the world of nature

·         Rest

·         Welcome children

Do you take time to do the above?

Prayer: Dear Lord, remind me to take time to actively pursue activities that help keep my faith alive. Amen.
