He Restores My Soul – Psalm 23

It is now the middle of February. After my two night stay in the hospital at the end of December I have to admit I have had a terrible attitude. My heart was like stone. I Felt nothing but self pity I felt so cold in my heart toward the Lord. I will admit I had a lot of anger also. This was confusing also because I know that God loves me. I still found my heart was cold like a rock in the winter. I would read the Scriptures and it just felt like the words bounced off my head. Even those great verses in first Corinthians 13 didn’t find a resting place in my heart.

In the back of my mind I kept remembering that short section of Psalm 23 where it says he restores my soul. I kept thinking he would but also I kept thinking my attitude was so bad I couldn’t see how that could happen. I went through another visit to the ER for spasms. I have been on an effective medication ever since. It is been a week now and I’ve gotten a good nights sleep every night since. My heart was still cold. I kept reading the Bible by my heart was hard. Then this morning I woke up in the cloud was gone. Somehow he restored my soul I woke up glad to be alive. Glad to be able to praise him. Glad to love my family that cares so much about me.

The last thought I want to share today is God is bigger than our problems. He holds onto  us even when we don’t hold on ourselves. God is great and greatly to be praised. Hallelujah.
