1 Praise the Lord, my soul;
all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the Lord, my soul,
and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins
and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit
and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
(Psalm 103:1-5)
Probably one of the greatest blessings of celebrating Advent is that it forces us to slow down, spend time with others, and rest. We relax, sometimes sleep in, and sit back and consider all the blessings God has given us. Gratitude and contentment do much to restore our souls and renew our strength. Of course, we know we will need it when we get back into the "grind" and the challenges of the new year, but that is ok. Enjoy the renewal God offers. Worship Him. Thank Him. Come to Him for fresh forgiveness and look forward in Hope. Let Him lift you up and remind you of His love. Taste the satisfaction of soul only He can provide. Be Refreshed.
