Read Psalm 119:153-160
Revive me according toYour word…Revive me according to Your ordinances…Revive me, O LORD, accordingto Your lovingkindness. (vv. 154,156,159)
How are you going spiritually? Has some apathy crept intoyour relationship with the Lord? Do you sense hardness where your heart used tobe really soft towards God? Has God moved from being the centre of your life tobeing just one of the things that revolve around your own self-centeredness? Doyou feel like your spiritual life has declined?
Then you need revival.
How does God revive you spiritually? He uses His word! Ifyou need revival, God will revive you through His word. Are you spending lotsof time there, listening for God’s voice in your heart? When you need reviving,ask God to speak to you through His word. Make sure your heart is open to Himand ready to respond.
Why does God revive you? Because of His lovingkindness!Because you are God’s child, His heart is tender toward you. He pursues you. Hebreaks through your hardness. He gets your attention. He reminds you that Heloves you. He kindles a longing in your heart for the days when you walked withHim. And He revives you.
If you need reviving in your inner life, God is inviting youtoday to come to the only place you will find it—His word.
