He Restores My Soul
Pikes Peak United Methodist is a beautiful church on the west side of Colorado Springs. It is near and dear to my heart as it was my church home for fifteen years or so. I went there to find Rev. Glen McPhearson, who is now 97 years young and give him a signed book.
The years I spent with Rev. McPearson shaped by spiritual life and my theology. The book might never have been if it weren’t for Glen’s influence and teachings. It is a praying church, if you have ever seen one.
Pastor Rick Carpenter did a fabulous sermon called “Prayer, how is that working for you?’ He talked about a quote from Mother Theresa where she told someone to spend an hour each day adoring God, then go out and do what you know is right.
If everyone did that, it would truly change the world. We also read Psalm 23. As I sat there and said the words, a great sense of peace and calm came over me. The words and the images are so beautiful. I would like to encourage you to say, even this first part today.
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
There, do you feel better? I sure do. If you don’t, repeat it again, until you do feel better. Be blessed.
