Summer has come! We look forward to vacations, week-end getaways, and camp for the kids. For some of us, just having the time to read a good book and enjoy a lazy day is savored. For others, a break is needed before a busy fall season hits with full force.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to start your summer relying on the word of God. God’s word will rest your body, renew your mind, restore your soul, and refresh your spirit!

…And Thy words became for me a joy and the delight of my heart…- Jeremiah 15:16

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind… - Romans 12:2

Begin to RESTORE...
Have you been running on empty?

The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul… - Psalm 19:7

He restores my soul; He guides me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. - Psalm 23:3

What a wonderful opportunity to seize the summer with God’s word! I encourage you to put God first, and see the difference it will make in YOU!

…those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength; they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weary. - Isaiah 40:31
