Psalm 23:3  He restoreth my soul: ….

     There are many people that love to take old things and refurbish them.  There are many things that time can wear down and destroy.  Our houses are one example.  There is always something in need of paint or a new piece of wood. 

      Our spiritual houses need restored too, from time to time.  God does a major renovation when we give him our lives and decide to live for him.  But every now and then we find ourselves in need of a little bit of repair work. Things creep into our lives if we are not extremely diligent to watch everything we do and say. The enemy can come in and cause us to slack in one area or another.  

      Many things can be fixed with the word of God. Reading the word will help us to figure out where our spiritual houses need to be fortified.  While other things take a little time and lots of prayer. But Jesus is always there to refresh and restore us to a place of strength and beauty.

Pro 24:1  Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them.

Pro 24:2  For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. Pro 24:3  Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established:

     I am not a structural engineer, but even I know that a house has to have a good foundation to stand strong.  It is easy to sit back and watch evil men prosper and question Why?  But God will only allow them to go so far before it all comes crumbling down.

    But his children are wise, they follow his blueprint for life.  Often we may not have some of the fancy things that their life brings.  But I would trade all the glitz and glamour of this life for my home in heaven.

      We are established by our understanding of the word of the Lord.  In Him we can be stable and whole (not needing restoration).   He will establish our path.  He will help us to stay strong no matter what we face. Take a moment to think about the state of your house, is it well established or does it need some restoration?

BE BOLD, BE BRAVE AND KEEP YOUR GOD FOCUS
