He restoreth my soul: He guideth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
When your soul grows sorrowful He revives it; when it is sinful He sanctifies it; when it is weak He strengthens it. He alone does this, not His ministers, not His Word by itself. If your spirituality is at its lowest ebb, the same Shepherd who turns the tide can restore you now.
