Today as I approached the Lob, involuntarily, a quiet voice in my heart started repeating, The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want; He makes me to lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside the still waters, He restores my soul. My first step on Trail One was instant peace, peace as though it has drifted from the Heavens and totally enveloped me. For the third time this week, I was greeted with the sweet song of an indigo bunting sitting on a flower just up the trail. As I started walking through the maize of flowers and blossoming plants, my soul kept singing songs about the first part of the 23rd Psalm, The Lords my shepherd, Ill not want, He makes me down to lie, in pastures green He leadeth me, the quiet waters by. As I took in the emerging quilt of colorful flowers, my eyes were directed to the sky where cloud formations illuminated by a brilliant sun brought the power of God to the statement, He restores my soul. He restores my soul, He restores my soul, it kept going over and over in my mind. Suddenly, I thought, thats why Im here, thats why Im called here, thats why I feel drawn here, to have my soul restored. As I approached Ronnies part of the trail, there he was, sitting on the top of the tree. as soon as he saw me he started, chip, chip, chip, chip, and then our song. Every day now, I give Ronnie the days prayer requests and ask him (Jesus said the birds dont worry and have faith) to pray for those requests. He always sings back to me when I do that and I pray out loud for the things on my heart as he sings. But back to restoration...Joel 2:25-26, ESV I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you. You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And my people shall never again be put to shame. For I will restore health to you, and your wounds I will heal, declares the Lord, Jer. 30:17...Return to your fortress of prisons of hope, even now I announce that I will restore twice as much to you. Zephaniah 9:12 Goodness and mercy, all my days, shall surely follow me, and in Gods house forevermore, my dwelling place shall be.
