The Law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.  Psalm 19:7 (NASB)

 

The Word of God refreshes us inside and out. It transforms us to a higher realm and state of inexplicable rewards. And the law of the LORD is perfect, refreshing our soul, and igniting a fire of love, and wisdom, set forth by our relationship with Him.

The Psalmists soul refreshment was the Word of God.

Jesus Himself made the Word of God an important priority in His earthly life and ministry. Jesus had to go off alone many a time to pray, and connect with His Father, and He needed to refresh, revive and be in perfect accord with the Word and His Father, our God.

Before daybreak the next morning, Jesus got up and went out to an isolated place to pray.  Mark 1:35 (NLT)

If Jesus had to do this, of course so should we all. Connecting with God on a daily basis, whether it’s once, twice, or however many times we need to in a given day, is vastly important for ones’ soul and affirmation and transformation. Your mind if it is upon the LORD will open all avenues for you to explore in His name and will.

Instead, let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.  Put on your new nature, created to be like God—truly righteous and holy. Ephesians 4:23-24 (NLT)

Being with God, asking for guidance, help, or just speaking with Him are all forms of communication with Him. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a “prayer that someone else wrote.” And it shouldn’t be a “formality” it should come from the heart. It can be spontaneous. It can be planned. It can be an ongoing song from within your heart to the Father. But the important thing here is, that “connection” to Him, His Word, and His love. Also, His will for our lives. And we can go to Him freely and openly and boldly.

“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” Hebrews 4:16 (CEB)

When we’re rooted in His Word, we gain entry to a whole new prospective in our lives. We become engaged in a daily practice of a meaningful way of living. While we are here in our flesh bodies, and on earth in our “temporary” homes, we have a mission and job to do. We all have a certain role to play in the harmony of the “body of Christ” in every facet of our being.

We can gainfully explore all avenues pertaining to His Word, in our actions, and our thoughts, and our souls. Being connected to the LORD is like an effervescent shower of peace. Because no matter what is happening in our lives, around us, or in the world, we have the “key” to gain access into a realm of tranquility and strength, through Christ Himself.

Have you sought the LORD and asked for His help today? Have you thanked Him for your blessings? Have you expressed your love for Him?

He is available from sunup to sundown, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Now this is the question I ask— within all those minutes, hours, days, months, and years…how much of it do you spend with Him?

“Father, my LORD, thank You for Your Word, for refreshing my soul, for revitalizing my Spirit and keeping me filled with Your peace, I thank You, I love You, and I need You, now, tomorrow and always, in Jesus’ name, Amen.”

 The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. Psalm 23:1 (KJV)
