The Lord is my Shepherd…I shall not lack. He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him—not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake.— Psalm 23:1,3 (AMPC)
Psalm 23 is a great comfort and encouragement. Your Shepherd refreshes and restores your life, or as the King James Version says, your soul.
The word restore means, “to return to a former condition,” to refresh. In this psalm David is telling you God will return you to the state you were in before you erred from following the good plan He had predestined for you before your birth.
God’s plan for you is not failure, misery, poverty, sickness, or disease. His plan is for you to have a rich life full of health, happiness, and fulfillment.
So don’t let the devil steal it away from you. I encourage you to set some time aside to quietly wait in the presence of the Lord and allow Him to refresh and restore your soul.
Prayer Starter: Lord, thank You for Your Word. Thank you for Your presence in my life. When I feel weak, please restore and refresh my soul. In Jesus’ name, amen
