I am thankful for God's leading Hand...that He gently intervenes and guides me to the places where I can be renewed and reminded that His plan for me is best.
"He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul..." ~ Psalm 23:2-3a
Left to my own devices, I will run myself ragged. Especially with the start of a new year---- it's easy to tear through the "pasture" in a million different directions as I seek to accomplish my new goals.
I need the reality of Psalm 23 in my life this year. I need a regularly restored soul. I need to be in the practice of following my Shepherd's lead, even if it means forsaking my agenda. He is faithful to steer me to the reviving places that renew my faith and strengthen my resolve to be "lead-able".
I personally, tend to struggle with allowing other peoples' agenda's coerce me out of the place where God wants me to be. I MUST be steadfast in my intention to be moved by God alone! This kind of persuasion can only happen if I take the time to lie down in His peaceful presence, release my insecurities and surrender my agenda to His.
The One who calls me is Faithful and He will restore my soul, if I am willing to let Him.
