This page serves as a gateway for the spiritual refreshment articles on this site. Most are written as meditations on Scripture. You'll gain the most from these by reading them alongside an open Bible. You may prefer to print them so that you can ponder them away from the computer as you pull away to meet with God.
As you seek refreshment, I encourage you to grasp hold of this promise:

Living Word, how often
do you try to speak to me,
poignantly,
with immediacy,
and yet I miss it,
caught up, as I am,
with lesser things?
My heart is poised now,
open,
listening,
as I proclaim
You are Messiah,
the King, my Lord.
