A Bible Passage A Day: Psalm 23:3

 He refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. - Psalm 23:3





Imagine that you are a kid who has been playing in the playground for an hour. Nonstop running. Jumping. Climbing. And rolling in the grass. How would you feel afterwards? 


You would probably be thirsty and exhausted. 


And what is the first thing that you do when playtime is over?

My guess is that you would sit down, grab your water bottle, and drink. 

Why sit down? Because it gives you rest. 

Why drink? Because it refreshes your body.


Our souls also get tired and need rest. 

Our souls also get thirsty and need refreshment. 


Aren’t we lucky and blessed that we have a God who is very much willing to give us rest and refreshment when we need it?


All we need is to rest, put our trust in the Lord, be in silence, and talk to Him in prayer. 


For the Lord will always renew our strength after a challenging circumstance. 

For the Lord will always refresh our souls when we feel empty inside. 


God works in mysterious ways, and God renews our strength in a multitude of ways. 


Have you ever experienced feeling so confused about life’s circumstances, then you pray to the Lord for help, and then you suddenly see a quote or a message on a book, or on a billboard, or on a song lyric, that speaks to you? That is God’s way of reaching out to you… of answering your prayer… of renewing your strength. 


Or have you experienced feeling so devastated about a financial problem, then you decide to entrust everything to the Lord, and then suddenly a friend will message you on social media, ask about how you are, and then offer money the minute you mention about a financial hardship? 


God works in mysterious ways. And His efforts to renew our strength are endless and magnificent. 



The Lord renews our strength, and He will continue doing that as long as we choose to come to Him. 


Are you feeling tired right now? Come to the Lord and He will renew your strength. Once your strength is renewed, you will have the ability to face every challenge with a heart that chooses the right paths. 


A heart that gives glory to God by displaying courage, generosity, love, and compassion once more. And if displaying these virtues make us tired in the process, just seek the Lord once again. 


For He will refresh your soul. And He will guide you along the right path that will bring glory to His name.

A Bible Passage A Day: Proverbs 13:20

  Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harms. - Proverbs 13:20 Imagine that you are looking at a flight of birds who are headed in the same direction. More often than not, a flock of birds have the same intention, the same purpose, the same agenda. After all, birds of the same feather flock together. This is also true with people. More often than not, people, regardless of age, stay together because they have something in common. Maybe, at first, in the process of knowing each other, they may still be different from one another, but in deciding to stick together, they begin to acquire the same interests and do the same activities together. In Proverbs 13:20, God is challenging us to be wise in choosing the people we decide to be with. We need to be intentional with the people we choose to give attention to.  After all, when we are in the presence of the wise, we become wise, too. And in the presence of fools, we become fools, too. For instance, ...
