Spiritual Refreshment


spiritual refreshment


Spiritual refreshment. Does that sound appealing? Let's face it, life becomes dry at times, yet living water is ever available in God's presence and through the Word. When we become hungry or weak from lack of nourishment, God promises food which satisfies, spiritual refreshment for the soul.

This page serves as a gateway for the spiritual refreshment articles on this site. Most are written as meditations on Scripture. You'll gain the most from these by reading them alongside an open Bible. You may prefer to print them so that you can ponder them away from the computer as you pull away to meet with God.

As you seek refreshment, I encourage you to grasp hold of this promise:

"Anyone who drinks the water I give will never thirst--not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing fountains of endless life." John 4:14 (The Message)

There is something
Ted Loder

Holy One,
there is something I wanted to tell you,
but there have been errands to run,
bills to pay,
arrangements to make,
meetings to attend,
friends to entertain,
washing to do...
and I forget what it is I wanted to say to you,
and mostly I forget what I'm about
or why.
O God,
don't forget me, please,
for the sake of Jesus Christ....

O Father in Heaven,
perhaps you've already heard what I wanted to tell you,
What I wanted to ask is....

Quote of the Week

"If I were called upon to state in a few words the essence of everything I was trying to say both as a novelist and as a preacher, it would be something like this: Listen to your life. See it for the fathomless mystery it is. In the boredom and pain of it no less than...."
