Psalm 23

A psalm of David.

1The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.

2He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

3he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

4Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,Or through the darkest valley
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

5You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

6Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.

We often take this psalm for granted, but it is a important testament of David who had his life and soul restored by God. "He restoreth my soul...". The same verse tells us that he does that just, because he is God. "...for his name sake".

God restores the soul of the positive believer. The spirit and body are the mechanisms for allowing us to function in the respecxtivge envirorments. The Soul is basis of life, it is dead until God restores what is lacking in our lives when we believe in Christ, confess our sins, recieve fulness when we study Gods word. God will advance our spiritual life through His guidance in His word. Because of Gods integrity and reputation, which is correct and truthful perception that all creatures should come to know Him. God is perfect, in Him there is no sin, no lacking, no error. Apart from Gods word which can only be learned through a daily bible study, there is no restoration of ones soul.
