Have you ever experienced that peculiar disconnect—your body sitting perfectly still while your soul spins like a top? That racing mind, tight chest, peace that feels just beyond your fingertips? Today we're diving deep into Psalm 116:7, a gentle invitation that speaks directly to those moments of inner turmoil.

"Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me." These words offer us a profound truth: authentic rest isn't about perfect circumstances or having everything figured out. It's about reconnecting with God's unchanging goodness as the foundation for our peace. When anxiety threatens to overwhelm us, this verse reminds us to look back at the evidence of God's faithfulness—answered prayers, opened doors, and even the ones lovingly closed that protected us from paths not meant for us.

We explore how true rest transcends merely slowing our schedules; it's about speaking peace to our inner worlds. It's the spiritual practice of remembrance, allowing God's past goodness to become the solid ground where today's peace can grow. Whether you're in a season of chaos or simply need to recenter your spirit, this meditation offers practical wisdom for bringing your soul back to rest. Take a moment today to breathe deeply and remember—not because everything's easy, but because the Lord has been good and remains faithful still. Speak peace over your soul today and join us in resting in God's unchanging goodness.

00:00:02.564 --> 00:00:07.413
Welcome to Wisdom for the Day, your daily source for spiritual refreshment and guidance.

00:00:07.413 --> 00:00:08.734
I'm Rick.

00:00:08.734 --> 00:00:13.651
Join me as I dive into God's Word to find clarity and strength for life's challenges.

00:00:13.651 --> 00:00:19.466
Let me help you embrace each day with faith and wisdom, ready to feel inspired.

00:00:19.466 --> 00:00:21.065
Let's get started.

00:00:21.065 --> 00:00:24.408
Today is Day 209.

00:00:24.408 --> 00:00:24.972
Let your get started.

00:00:24.972 --> 00:00:25.719
Today is day 209.

00:00:25.719 --> 00:00:27.425
Let your soul rest.

00:00:27.980 --> 00:00:38.152
From Psalm 116, verse 7, from the New Living Translation Let my soul be at rest again, for the Lord has been good to me.

00:00:38.152 --> 00:00:45.093
Sometimes your body can sit still, but your soul is still spinning.

00:00:45.093 --> 00:00:47.104
You know that feeling.

00:00:47.104 --> 00:00:52.447
Your mind is racing, your chest is tight, the peace feels just out of reach.

00:00:52.447 --> 00:01:00.265
But Psalm 116.7 offers a gentle invitation Let your soul be at rest again.

00:01:00.265 --> 00:01:01.869
Why?

00:01:01.869 --> 00:01:04.763
Because the Lord has been good.

00:01:04.763 --> 00:01:28.063
Not because your circumstances are perfect, not because you've got it all together, but because God's faithfulness hasn't changed, and sometimes that's all we need to come back to center.

00:01:28.082 --> 00:01:29.486
This verse reminds us that rest isn't just about slowing our schedule.

00:01:29.486 --> 00:01:30.870
It's about speaking peace to our inner world.

00:01:30.870 --> 00:01:33.977
It's about remembering what God has already done and choosing to breathe again.

00:01:33.977 --> 00:01:35.861
Now think about it.

00:01:35.861 --> 00:01:40.569
He's carried you, yeah, the prayers.

00:01:40.569 --> 00:01:48.704
He's answered the doors he's opened the prayers he's answered the doors he's opened, even the ones that he lovingly closed.

00:01:48.704 --> 00:01:57.965
His goodness isn't just something to celebrate in the past, it's the foundation for the rest that you can walk in today.

00:01:57.965 --> 00:02:01.512
So take a moment, speak this over in your own heart.

00:02:01.512 --> 00:02:15.560
Let my soul be at rest again, not because everything's easy, but because the Lord has been good and still is so good.

00:02:15.560 --> 00:02:17.783
Pray with me, father.

00:02:17.783 --> 00:02:18.063
God.

00:02:18.063 --> 00:02:20.669
Sometimes I forget how faithful that you've been.

00:02:20.669 --> 00:02:23.394
Help me slow down long enough to remember.

00:02:23.394 --> 00:02:33.074
Speak peace over my soul today and let me rest in your unchanging goodness In Jesus' precious name, amen.

00:02:33.074 --> 00:02:40.413
Well, that's all for today, but I'll be back tomorrow with more of God's Word.
