Refreshment

The Father is calling you today:

Come here. Come here my beloved one. You have stood and held your place with joy and steadfastness but I see that you are weary now. As Nehemiah kept going to complete the wall, ignoring the onslaughts of the enemy, you have continued pressing forward to build the Kingdom.

Come to the place I have prepared for you, just for you. It is tailored to your needs. It is nourishing and restful for the body, soul and spirit. Come, let me revive, restore and revitalise you. I will release my strength into your tired limbs and muscles. I will refresh your mind and spirit so that you will be able to ‘go again’.  I will reveal blueprints for the new thing I will do; I will direct you. I will be your strength and shield.

Come to this prepared ‘oasis’ and let me wash you clean and refresh your mind with My living Water.

Activation:

As you go to bed tonight release your cares, concerns  and anxieties, big and small. Visualise yourself arriving at an oasis. Greenery, water, shade; an opportunity to be cleansed and washed. As you undress, give your concerns/cares to Jesus. You might like to write down a list and then shred the paper. Spend a moment connecting with Him as you release these things, recognising that nothing to is too small or too big for His attention and care.  Appreciate God for who He is – the great ‘I Am’.

Psalm 42:1 (MSG)

As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.

Song of Solomon 2:10 (MSG)

My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.”

Psalm 23:2-3 (MSG)

He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
