Soul Restoration

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake." - Psalm 23:1-3

Today was a soul restoration day. I can only say that it is because God is good. My circumstances weren't different than any other day. I went to work for a couple hours this morning and then came home and dealt with scraped knees, dirty diapers, and temper tantrums. A cranky teething baby wanted held all day, thinking to sleep during the day must be some kind of torture. But amidst all my hectic "normal", I felt overwhelming peace pouring over me like a flood. That's not normal. That's God.

He made me lie down. He restored my soul.

"Blessed be the Lord! for he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy. The Lord is my strength and my shield; in him my heart trusts, and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to him." - Psalm 28:6, 7
