Restored to Joy

Listen to the Podcast

Good morning!

Here is today's communion meditation.

Psalm 51:12 says, "Restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me."

The word salvation in the original Hebrew is Yeshua, which is the name for Jesus. Restore me to the joy of Jesus.

The originial Hebrew also reads something like, "And generously give me of your spirit to support and uphold me."

2023 was a very demanding year for me personally, and a mistake that I made was not really taking any time off during the year. 

This led to some burn out, but also to some staleness in my relationship with the Lord. I was still seeking God but not with the joy I had when I first started walking with him. 

Over the last couple of weeks I have taken some time off and it's amazing what some rest can do to restore the joy of Jesus in our lives. 

In today's communion we are asking God to restore the joy of Jesus in our lives and to generously give us of his spirit so that we are willing and obedient.

Another thing to restore is the joy of movement. Kids move with such joy. Let's also restore the joy of movement. 

I am praying for you.

P.S. Remember the Master is with you, he loves you, and nothing is impossible for him.
