A Refreshing Word
The pleasure
of a cool breeze, the warmth of the sun on our face, smelling fresh flowers.
God's creation. Being refreshed encourages us and promotes hope.
We're pretty
good at refreshing others. A friendly smile, a warm hug, sending a note or
calling someone refreshes the receiver and the giver. But what about refreshing
ourselves spiritually? How can we
purposely refresh ourselves with our heavenly Father.
God's love
does that for us. Remembering His loving mercies and living according to His
Word reminds us of all He's done for us. He rekindles our love for Him which
then flows through us: reading and studying His Word . . . singing hymns and
praise songs . . . praying and thanking Him at all times. Staying in touch with
God refreshes us.
God sings
because He is pleased with all He has created. How refreshing to hear that! It
helps us look at His creation with joy. God sings because He loves us. The more
we remember that, the more we will be refreshed each day.
He will take great delight in you; in His love He will no longer rebuke you
but will rejoice over you with singing."
Zephaniah 3:17
Fill yourself and others with the refreshing joy of God. There's nothing like being refreshed by our Heavenly Father.
By His Grace . . .
