The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well watered garden, like an ever flowing spring.
-Isaiah 58:11(NLT)
STRENGTH RESTORER
A poem and essay by ILMA
Are you experiencing a lack of love and affection?
Has someone rejected you and failed to show compassion?
There is a water that restores and quenches your thirst
It is a well that never dries when you make Jesus your first.
The Lord will guide you continually and give you life
He looks after your needs and give you constant light
You will be like a well watered garden with lots of bloom
He will never allow you to suffer and stay in gloom.

There are many things that distracts us in this very noisy and chaotic world we live in. We get so very busy that sometimes we even miss out on what is going on in our bodies and minds. We are all busy bodies, always running around, multi-tasking, doing all kinds of things. We don’t realize that our bodies can only take so much. The bible emphasized much the importance of rest for us all. In Genesis 2:2-3, even God himself blessed the seventh day to rest. If we don’t rest, we will not be able to last that long. The prophet Isaiah encourages us to run to God because he is the restorer of strength.

PRAYER
Lord, teach me how to rest in you.
REFLECTION
How often do you rest? Why do you think God wants us to rest?
