CONVERSATION WITH THE SOUL

CONVERSATION WITH THE SOUL

Psalms 42:5 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? And why art thou disquieted in me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.

What happens to a child who never gets the firm coaching and directing of loving concerned parents? What happens to a seedling that grows without a lead? What happens to a soul who never gets wholesome direction from the conviction of the Holy Spirit?

We need to communicate and converse with our soul. At the end of the day, we need to take stock of it, ask it to render account of its feelings. We need at times to question our heart. We need to know if its inner conversations are solidly based on the firm unwavering rock of the Word of God, or if they are on the unpredictable lying sand of emotion. We need to sometimes check our soul and scold it, correct it.  We certainly cannot let it run wild to its own devices like a spoiled child.

When we feel down, we need to tell our soul “look up”. When we feel discouraged, we need to remind it of the wonders of God’s provision and protection. When we feel directionless, we need to turn the ears of our heart towards the never stopping flow of the heavenly channel. When our soul has lost hope, we need ignore its feelings of self-pity and bring it to the light and truth in the closet of praising prayer.

Hebrews 6:19 Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;
