As we read the book of Psalms, we can clearly see that King David loved the Lord and His word. You can readily see it in his writings. His heart for God is revealed in each Psalm. He said this in Psalm 119:167 (ESV): “My soul keeps your testimonies; I love them exceedingly”. Notice that it was not lip service. He honored God’s Word with his very soul! He loved God with his entire being exceedingly. This is pivotal because God knows those who love Him with all of their hearts and those who only honor Him with their lips. Matthew 15:8 says: “These people draw near to Me with their mouth, And honor Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me”. Let’s make sure that our hearts are right with God. True love and honor is an action of the heart. It’s not hypocritical. Be like David who loved God and His word exceedingly with his entire soul.
It’s time for your soul to be refreshed!
One of the more prominent attacks that the enemy launches against us is the attack against our faith and confidence in God and His word. If he can get us out of faith and confidence, we lose our boldness. This is why it is so vital that we connect with God every day. When we call upon God, and in some cases, cry out to God, He hears us, and His Spirit and His word reassures us that He is with us. He never leaves nor forsakes us. King David said this in Psalm 138:3: “In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul”. He knew that his strength came from God. When He cried out to God, He would receive boldness and strength in his soul. When we go through difficulties in life, we need boldness and strength in our souls. We cannot effectively fight if we are defeated on the inside. Today, cry out to God. He promises that He hears his children. By His Spirit and His word, He will restore your faith, boldness and confidence, and renew your strength on the inside. Your soul will be refreshed and encouraged so that you can finish strong!
