And just like that, the weekend is over and a Monday beckons to us with all its inexplicable demands for attention and retribution of the...writer is going right off the deep end there, someone please stop him right quick! Monday is not that bad when we have so many blessings from our Father in Heaven to count. It's 6:00 am and we are awake (mostly) and up doing(sort of) our morning routine prior to arriving at work ready to go(well almost). A Monday morning may seem to us like a good time for some restoration. A little verse from the great 23rd psalm comes to mind this morning.
He restores my soul;
He leads me in the paths of righteousness
For His name’s sake. (Psalm 23:3)
I have come to understand the 23rd psalm as more of a daily thing than a one time blessing. This does not make me some newly-arrived flaming genius, all of the Bible is good for our restoration and education on a daily, even a moment-by-moment basis. Jeremiah told us of God's mercies new every morning; Paul wrote Timothy that all scripture is made for our benefit. David probably pondered his 23rd psalm often during days of trouble and perhaps a bit more often when times were good.
Restoration and leading along those paths of righteousness are a constant need in me. I'm glad my Lord Jesus is so good at His job! Have a great day at yours too.
