Right Standing With God Is Available To Refresh Your Life
“He refreshes and restores my life (my self); He leads me in the paths of righteousness [uprightness and right standing with Him–not for my earning it, but] for His name’s sake.” Not only does the Lord restore our souls, (our life) but He leads us in paths of righteousness. As we receive new strength from Him, the refreshing of our soul is handled. That kind of new strength as if we were never weary, comes upon us backed by the power of the God head which is in you because of Jesus (Colossians 2:9-10). The joy of the Lord is our strength, and those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength (Isaiah 40:31). We could never of ourselves earn the right standing with God that Jesus provided on the cross at calvary. Our own righteousness would have never gotten us into heaven, yet alone in God’s good graces here on planet earth. Right standing with God means we have died to our own willfulness and leadership, letting Jesus be Lord and Savior. Folks are mostly ok with Jesus being Savior but to have someone else telling us what to do is on a whole other level in today’s world. Submission goes along with growth, and right standing with God. Lose the pride and gain the blessings of righteousness, and allow the Lord to give you strength and refresh your life.
