I’ll refresh tired bodies; I’ll restore tired souls. Jeremiah 31:25 (MSG)
Are you tired?
Are you weary?
Have you got that December feeling? The feeling that this year has been long enough already, and that it’s time for a holiday, and time for new things to begin.
The feeling that comes with a to-do list that keeps getting longer but never seems to get done.
I’ve got that feeling.
Even this year which has been a pretty easy year for my husband and I with no cancer treatments is beginning to feel long.
This morning when I read Jeremiah 31:25 my soul sighed, whoosh:
I’ll refresh tired bodies;
I’ll restore tired souls.
My soul let out a breath I didn’t even know I’d been holding because I realised that God can refresh my tired body and restore my weary soul.
I don’t need to add refresh body and soul to my to-do list I can leave that in God’s hands.
Whoosh.
Ponder: Do you need to leave refreshing your body and soul in God’s hands?
Pray: Lord, thank you that you’ve promised to refresh my body and soul. Come and revitalise my body and soul.
